Property Finder
DXBinteract
dataHabibi
Property Monitor
REIDINHow we picked
- Bayut's data tools, Dubai Transactions and TruEstimate, are free, so alternatives were compared on what each adds against that free baseline: Property Finder a six-month forecast, DXBinteract deal-type filters and project tracking, dataHabibi paid building-level analysis, and Property Monitor and REIDIN professional data on quote.
- Bayut's apps have the largest rating base on this page, 4.8/5 from about 20,000 UAE App Store ratings and 4.3/5 from about 15,700 on Google Play; Property Finder follows with 4.7/5 from about 9,000 and 4.2/5 from about 8,700, DXBinteract has 4.0/5 from 105 and 4.4/5 from 158, and the other three tools have no rating on record.
- Ownership is stated for every entry: Property Monitor has shared Bayut's owner, Dubizzle Group, since April 2025; DXBinteract is run by the brokerage fäm Properties; Property Finder is another listing portal paid by advertisers; and dataHabibi carries no listings and takes no commissions.
- Coverage was compared against TruEstimate's limits (Dubai residential units only, and possibly no report for new buildings without recorded sales or rentals): REIDIN is the only alternative whose listing covers commercial property, Property Monitor sells UAE data with its deepest tools in Dubai, and Property Finder, DXBinteract and dataHabibi are Dubai-only for transaction data, with DXBinteract and dataHabibi tracking off-plan projects.
- dataHabibi is the only tool here with published paid prices (AED 275 a week, AED 1,000 a month or AED 8,640 for a first year, excluding VAT, verified 23 October 2026); Property Monitor and REIDIN quote per client, and Property Finder and DXBinteract are free like Bayut.

Bayut1Property Finder — best Bayut alternative for estimating what a Dubai home is worth now and where its value may be in six months before deciding when to sell or buy
Property Finder is the best Bayut alternative for an owner who wants to know where a Dubai home's value is heading, not only what it is worth today. Both portals are free and draw on Dubai Land Department records, but Property Finder's Home Valuation, in its app, estimates a home's current value and its value six months ahead from DLD transactions, live listings and market sentiment, with a confidence score and a published historical median sales error of about 4.7%; Bayut's TruEstimate shows price history over six months to five years and lists no forecast. Property Finder's Transactions pages add rental yield to average price and price per square foot over periods up to 10 years, Data Guru maps rent and sale ranges by color, and the Insights Hub offers about 100 free reports across the UAE, Egypt, Qatar, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Bayut is still the better choice for valuing units quickly and in volume. TruEstimate is unlimited, looks units up by title deed, Oqood, Ejari, unit or DEWA number, shares reports as a PDF or link, and gives TruBroker agents free branded versions, where Property Finder's Home Valuation sits in the app and tracks up to 10 properties. Bayut's apps also have the larger rating base, 4.8/5 from about 20,000 UAE App Store ratings against Property Finder's 4.7/5 from about 9,000. Both portals draw reviewer complaints about duplicate or misleading listings.
Compared to Bayut: a six-month value forecast with a published median sales error of about 4.7%, rental yield on Dubai transaction pages over periods up to 10 years, and a valuation reached only in the app and capped at 10 tracked properties
Wins:Home Valuation forecasts a Dubai home's value six months ahead with a confidence score and a published historical median sales error of about 4.7%, where TruEstimate shows price history only · Transactions pages add rental yield and counts over periods from three months to ten years, and Data Guru's color-coded map shows rent and sale ranges across communities · About 100 free Insights Hub reports cover the UAE, Egypt, Qatar, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, plus mortgage, affordability and rent-vs-buy calculators
Loses:Home Valuation sits in the app's My Properties section and tracks up to 10 properties, where TruEstimate reports are unlimited and shareable as a PDF or link · Bayut looks units up by title deed, Oqood, Ejari, unit or DEWA number and gives TruBroker agents free branded reports; Property Finder's listing mentions neither · Smaller app rating base (4.7/5 from about 9,000 UAE App Store ratings against Bayut's 4.8/5 from about 20,000), no rent forecasts, and Google Play complaints about fake listings and repeated agent calls
Pros
- Transactions shows DLD-registered Dubai sales and rentals with average price, price per square foot, rental yield and counts over periods up to 10 years, at no cost.
- Home Valuation adds a six-month value forecast and a confidence score, and Property Finder publishes its historical median sales error (about 4.7%).

- Rent estimates show today's value only; Property Finder does not forecast rents.
- Google Play reviewers report fake or duplicated listings, especially outside Dubai, and repeated agent calls after enquiries.
Pricing: Free — Both free for property seekers; both earn from agency advertising with unpublished package prices
2DXBinteract — best Bayut alternative for checking recent registered sale and rent prices in a Dubai building or project before a viewing, at no cost
DXBinteract is the best Bayut alternative for buyers and agents who want to slice Dubai transactions more finely than Bayut's filters allow, at no cost. Both are free and built on DLD registrations, but DXBinteract filters sales and rentals by ready or off-plan, primary or resale, mortgage or cash, developer, size and floor, and a closing-cost toggle adds the 4% DLD fee and 2% agency commission to show all-in prices. Its project tracker shows construction progress and expected handover, which helps with new buildings that Bayut's TruEstimate may not value without recorded sales or rentals, and a CSV download lists unit sizes and balcony areas by project. DXBinteract adds daily to yearly market reports with PDF export, agency and developer trackers, and an MCP connector for Claude and ChatGPT users. Bayut is still the better choice for valuations and for the weight of app reviews. TruEstimate gives unlimited free valuation reports with rental yield and a confidence level, Bayut sends email alerts for saved transaction filters, and Bayut's apps rate 4.8/5 from about 20,000 UAE App Store ratings against DXBinteract's 4.0/5 from 105. DXBinteract is run by the brokerage fäm Properties, with WhatsApp and Send to Agent prompts, full transaction lists need a free account, and a July 2026 Google Play review complained that reported data errors were not fixed.
Compared to Bayut: filters for primary or resale, mortgage or cash, developer, and floor, plus a closing-cost toggle, a project tracker with construction progress and handover dates, and 4.0/5 from 105 UAE App Store ratings against Bayut's 4.8/5 from about 20,000, from a site run by the brokerage fäm Properties
Wins:Filters for ready or off-plan, primary or resale, mortgage or cash, developer, size and floor, plus a toggle that adds the 4% DLD fee and 2% agency commission · Project tracker with construction progress and handover dates, and a CSV of unit sizes and balcony areas by project · Daily to yearly market reports with PDF export, agency and developer trackers, and an MCP connector for Claude and ChatGPT users
Loses:Lists a price benchmark but no unit valuation report like TruEstimate, which Bayut gives free and unlimited with rental yield and a confidence level · Apps rate 4.0/5 from 105 UAE App Store ratings and 4.4/5 from 158 Google Play reviews, a far smaller base than Bayut's 4.8/5 from about 20,000 and 4.3/5 from about 15,700 · Run by the brokerage fäm Properties with WhatsApp and Send to Agent prompts, full transaction lists need a free account, and Google Play reviews report unfixed data errors
Pros
- No paid tier: transaction search, trends, project tracking and market reports are free on web, iOS and Android.
- Transaction filters cover ready versus off-plan, primary versus resale, mortgage versus cash, developer, size and floor number.
- A closing-cost toggle adds the 4% DLD fee and 2% agency commission to transaction values for an all-in view.
- The project tracker shows construction progress and expected handover, and a CSV download lists unit sizes and balcony areas by project.
- An MCP connector lets Claude and ChatGPT users ask questions of DXBinteract data in plain language after signing in.

3dataHabibi — best Bayut alternative for checking what units in a specific Dubai tower actually sold and rented for, and how its value has moved since launch, before making an offer
dataHabibi is the best Bayut alternative for buyers and investors who want to compare whole buildings and off-plan projects, not just value one unit, on a site with nothing to sell but data. dataHabibi prices more than 5,500 Dubai buildings from over 12 million registered DLD sale and rental transactions, refreshed daily, and sets each building's launch price against today's market value. Its project pages list launch prices, payment plans, escrow banks and handover dates, which matters for new buildings that Bayut's TruEstimate may not value without recorded sales or rentals. Area Intelligence adds a 12-month community forecast with a confidence indicator and a 0-100 Long-Term Growth Score, and the DLD price index back to January 2008 for 135 communities is free. dataHabibi carries no listings, takes no commissions and states that no party pays it to surface or rank a property, where Bayut is paid by agencies for listings and draws complaints about duplicate listings. Bayut is still the better choice for a free valuation. Bayut's TruEstimate gives unlimited free reports with rental yield and a confidence level, where dataHabibi keeps per-bedroom prices, yields, ROI and forecasts behind Pro at AED 275 a week or AED 1,000 a month (about $272), excluding VAT. Bayut also runs iOS and Android apps rated 4.8/5 from about 20,000 UAE App Store ratings, while dataHabibi is web-only with an iOS waitlist and email-only support.
Compared to Bayut: building and off-plan project analysis across 5,500+ Dubai buildings, with launch prices against today's value, no listings or commissions, where Bayut is paid by agencies, and yields, ROI, and forecasts behind Pro from AED 275 a week, where TruEstimate is free
Wins:Prices 5,500+ Dubai buildings daily and sets each building's launch price against today's value, where TruEstimate values one residential unit at a time · Project pages list launch prices, payment plans, escrow banks and handover dates, covering new buildings that TruEstimate may not value without recorded sales or rentals · Carries no listings, takes no commissions and states that no party pays it to surface or rank a property, where Bayut is paid by agencies and draws duplicate-listing complaints · Area Intelligence adds a 12-month community forecast with a confidence indicator and a 0-100 Long-Term Growth Score, and the price index back to January 2008 for 135 communities is free
Loses:Per-bedroom prices, rental yields, ROI and forecasts need Pro at AED 275 a week or AED 1,000 a month (about $272), excluding VAT, where TruEstimate reports with rental yield are free and unlimited · Web-only with the iOS app still a waitlist and no external rating on record, where Bayut's apps rate 4.8/5 from about 20,000 UAE App Store ratings · No self-serve export or API, and support is by email only
Pros
- Prices 5,500+ Dubai buildings from registered DLD sales and rents rather than asking prices, and shows each building's launch price next to its current value.
- The Dubai price index (DLD data back to January 2008, 135 communities), the weekly Market Pulse report and the rent-vs-buy calculator are free without an account.
- Ask AI takes plain-English searches, and commute search filters buildings by driving, transit, cycling or walking time.
- Not a broker or agency: dataHabibi carries no listings and states that no party pays it to surface or rank a property.
- Interface in nine languages, including Arabic, Russian and Simplified Chinese.
Cons
- Dubai only; Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the other emirates are not covered.
- Per-bedroom prices, rental yields, ROI, price trends and forecasts are locked behind Pro, which costs AED 275 a week or AED 1,000 a month.
- No self-serve export or API: data feeds and exports need a separate Business Data Agreement, and the terms forbid bulk extraction.
- Support is by email only, and the iOS app is still a waitlist rather than a release.
Pricing: Free tier · paid from $196.05/mo — AED 1,000/month (about $272) or AED 8,640 for a first year, excluding VAT, vs Bayut's free data tools (verified )
4Property Monitor — best Bayut alternative for producing comparable-evidence and CMA reports for Dubai valuations and listing pitches from same-day transaction data
Property Monitor is the best Bayut alternative for agencies, valuers and lenders that need professional evidence rather than consumer valuations, and it comes from the same group: Dubizzle Group, Bayut's parent, bought Property Monitor in April 2025. Where Bayut's Dubai Transactions shows DLD-registered sales and rentals, Property Monitor's PMiQ adds pending MOU/SPA sales, mortgages, valuations and listings, updated the same day transactions occur. Its AVM values a property today or at any date back to 2016 in most cases, where TruEstimate's price history runs six months to five years; lenders use PMiQ for underwriting and collateral reviews; PMiQ builds co-branded area reports and instant CMAs; and PM API feeds comparables, indices, points of interest and a consumer AVM into a firm's own CRM or website. It also lists service charges for more than 2,000 Dubai projects and reported more than 7,700 monthly users, mostly agencies and developers, at the 2025 acquisition. Bayut is still the better choice for owners, buyers, tenants and agents who just need a valuation to share. TruEstimate is free and unlimited, TruBroker agents get branded reports at no cost, and Bayut runs on web, iOS and Android with a low learning curve, where Property Monitor publishes no prices, has no free tier or self-serve trial, is web-only, has a moderate learning curve and has no plan for individual buyers or tenants.
Compared to Bayut: comparables that add pending MOU/SPA sales, mortgages, and valuations, updated the same day, an AVM that values at any date back to 2016, with co-branded CMAs and a REST API, and quote-only pricing with no free tier or plan for individual buyers, from Bayut's own parent group
Wins:Comparables add pending MOU/SPA sales, mortgages, valuations and listings to transfers and rental contracts, updated the same day transactions occur · The AVM values a property at any date back to 2016 in most cases, where TruEstimate's price history covers six months to five years · PM API delivers comparables, indices, points of interest, address matching and a consumer AVM over REST, and PMiQ lists service charges for more than 2,000 Dubai projects
Loses:No published prices, free tier or self-serve trial; every product starts with a sales form or demo, where TruEstimate is free and unlimited · No plan for individual buyers or tenants, web-only, and a moderate learning curve against Bayut's low one · Owned by Bayut's parent, Dubizzle Group, since April 2025, so moving to it does not take you outside the Bayut and dubizzle group
Pros
- Comparable data includes pending MOU/SPA sales, mortgages and valuations, not just completed DLD transfers, updated the same day.
- Annual service charge rates for more than 2,000 Dubai projects make net-yield calculations possible.
- The AVM values a property today or at past dates back to 2016 in most cases, combining comparable, indexation and price-per-square-foot models.
- PMiQ generates co-branded area reports and instant CMAs that agents can hand to sellers, buyers and investors.
- REST APIs push comparables, indices, points of interest and a consumer AVM into a firm's own CRM, website or dashboards.
Cons
- No public pricing, free tier or self-serve trial; access starts with a sales form, demo and custom quote.
- Built for agencies, valuers, lenders and developers; there is no plan for individual buyers or tenants.
- The deepest tools (service charges, community price indices) cover Dubai rather than the whole UAE.
- Since April 2025 it belongs to Dubizzle Group, owner of the Bayut and dubizzle portals, so it is no longer independent of the listing portals.
Pricing: Custom pricing — Unpublished per-client quotes vs Bayut's free data tools
5REIDIN — best Bayut alternative for building market reports and appraisal evidence from downloadable UAE transaction, rent, occupancy and service-charge series
REIDIN is the best Bayut alternative for analysts and institutions that need data Bayut's tools do not cover: commercial property, markets beyond Dubai, and raw tables to work with. Bayut's TruEstimate excludes commercial units and anything outside Dubai; REIDIN covers commercial as well as residential property and Turkey alongside the UAE. Its R-Insight platform combines transactions with asking prices, rents, occupancy rates, service charges, supply and economic series, ranks communities and buildings on them, and lets analysts download the raw tables, with reports exported to PDF and charts to Excel or PNG. R-Map adds parcel, land-use and catchment layers, R-Retail analyzes footfall, and an API supplies market trends and automated valuations. Research heads at Knight Frank, CBRE and ValuStrat are quoted on REIDIN's site as users. Bayut is still the better choice for Dubai residential buyers, owners and agents. Bayut's Dubai Transactions and unlimited TruEstimate reports are free on web, iOS and Android, with apps rated 4.8/5 from about 20,000 UAE App Store ratings, where REIDIN publishes no prices, has no self-serve trial, no consumer product and no mobile app, and starts every product with a demo request. REIDIN also gives no refresh frequency or emirate-by-emirate coverage list, so scope has to be confirmed in a demo.
Compared to Bayut: commercial property and Turkey alongside the UAE, where TruEstimate covers Dubai residential units only, downloadable raw tables combining transactions, asking prices, occupancy, supply, and economic series, and quote-only pricing after a demo, with no consumer product or mobile app

- Built for analysts and institutions, with no consumer product or mobile app.
- The site says trend data is updated periodically but gives no refresh frequency or emirate-by-emirate coverage list, so scope has to be confirmed in a demo.
