realLaw AI vs HAQQ

realLaw AI was founded in spring 2024 by Vitaly Ryzhakov, a Dubai-based entrepreneur, and his wife Irina Ryzhakov, a practicing lawyer whose recurring frustration finding the currently-in-force version of a UAE law was reportedly the founding trigger. The company holds an official Dubai AI Seal certification from the Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence — a genuine, checkable government credential, not a self-awarded badge.

It claims 15,000+ professional users, which we could not independently verify but is at least a plausible scale for a product two years into operation with an official certification behind it.

realLaw AI consolidates UAE federal law, all seven emirates and free-zone regulation, with DIFC and DMCC specifically named, with original Arabic text alongside professional English and Russian translations. Russian is a genuinely distinctive addition among the fifteen products in this comparison set, reaching Russian-speaking UAE residents, investors and businesses that a seven-language product without Russian, including HAQQ, does not serve directly.

Its scope stops at the UAE border. HAQQ enforces jurisdiction across 200+ countries in seven languages — Arabic, English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese — a wider net that does not currently include Russian.

realLaw AI publishes real pricing: a free plan with 3 AI chat questions and 5 documents per month, and a paid Legal AI Chat tier at 74 AED/month, or about 62 AED/month billed annually, with custom Professional and Team tiers above that. That transparency is genuinely useful for a UAE-only buyer deciding fast.

For a firm whose clients are not purely UAE-based, that same UAE-only scope becomes the limiting factor HAQQ is built to remove.
