Competition is brewing among the biggest daily-deals websites in the region, as both Cobone and Groupon Middle East compete for discount-savvy customers. Both websites profess to being the most popular daily-deals discount site in the UAE, claiming millions of email subscribers and thousands of customers log in each day to buy discounted vouchers for restaurants, fashion, electronics and travel. "I'm still very bullish about the business model," said Paul Kenny, the chief executive and founder of Cobone. "I think people trust us more than other sites. We are the only big local brand left."
