According to Formenzo’s 2026 UAE Free Zone Price Index, Ajman NuVentures is cheaper than RAKEZ at every visa count. Licence-only, Ajman is AED 4,888 against RAKEZ’s AED 6,000 — and Ajman is the cheapest UAE free zone overall. Add one residence visa and Ajman is AED 10,800 all-in versus AED 14,000 at RAKEZ, a saving of AED 3,200. The trade-off is scale, not price: RAKEZ sits in a much larger Ras Al Khaimah ecosystem with a wider activity list and warehousing or industrial options that Ajman’s lean packages do not cover. Both give 100% foreign ownership and issue licences in 3–8 working days. In short: choose Ajman to spend the least, choose RAKEZ if you need its broader activity and facility range. The full fee-by-fee comparison follows below.
| Ajman NuVentures | RAKEZ | |
|---|---|---|
| All-in price (licence only) | AED 4,888 cheaper | AED 6,000 |
| Licence + 1 residence visa | AED 10,800 cheaper | AED 14,000 |
| Licence + 2 residence visas | AED 16,200 cheaper | AED 18,000 |
| Emirate | Ajman | Ras Al Khaimah |
| 100% foreign ownership | Yes | Yes |
