Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Al Arz at none against Places UAE's shown. Al Arz also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.2 vs 17.6). Places UAE's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
