United Arab Emirates note

Procore's financial tools cover budgets, forecasts, change orders and payment applications, not UAE VAT accounting, so keep a VAT-ready accounting system alongside it. Procore lists connectors for accounting tools such as Xero and Sage 50 Accounts Cloud.

Typical United Arab Emirates pricing: Quote-based; no public prices. Procore's UAE pricing page says it charges an upfront annual fee per product based on your annual turnover, with unlimited users and data storage included.
