Top Software Development Companies in Hanoi

If you want a development partner whose engineers work in Hanoi, the useful question is not “who is the biggest?” but “which companies can show a Hanoi delivery team, relevant work and an engagement model that matches my project?” This comparison answers that with a consistent set of criteria and public sources, so you can move from a long list to three serious conversations.

Why location matters to this shortlist

Choosing a Hanoi team usually reflects practical needs: you may plan to visit the office, want engineers in one time zone (UTC+7, no daylight saving), prefer a vendor familiar with northern Vietnam’s talent market, or already work with partners in the city. Location also affects how easily you can meet the people doing the work, which matters for long engagements and regulated projects.

Location is not a proxy for quality. A company headquartered in Hanoi may deliver your project from Da Nang or Ho Chi Minh City, and a company with a Hanoi sales office may run engineering elsewhere. That is why this article separates the evidence for presence from the evidence for capability.

How Hanoi presence was verified

We started from the Clutch directory of Vietnamese software developers and the Clutch profiles of each company, then checked official websites where they were accessible on 5 November 2026. A company was included only when a public source lists a Hanoi street address as its headquarters. We recorded three things separately:

• Registered or head office: the address published as the company’s headquarters.
• Other delivery locations: additional offices listed on the profile or website, which may affect where your team sits.
• Service evidence: the service mix and frameworks the company publishes, plus engagement models described on its profile or site.

We did not include companies whose only Hanoi link is a sales contact, and we did not use sponsored placement or list order on any directory as a ranking signal. Ratings and review counts are shown as published on Clutch; they are not combined into a score.

Hanoi company comparison

Orient Software is included because it publishes a Hanoi office, but its headquarters is in Ho Chi Minh City; confirm which office would staff your project.

Company profiles

PoliteTech Software

Founded in 2022 and listed on Clutch with 10–49 employees, PoliteTech is the smallest company in this list and the publisher of this article. Its Clutch profile shows a 5.0 rating from 57 reviews, with reviewers based mainly in the United States plus Australia and Austria. Public portfolio pages cover mobile, web and AI projects, including an invoice approval system built with a team in Estonia, an e-scooter platform built with a team in Singapore, a care management platform for Australian care providers, and AI products such as an AI career platform and a team messaging tool with built-in AI. Best fit: small and mid-sized projects, agencies needing extra delivery capacity, and AI features added to existing products. Ask about: team size for larger programmes and how senior oversight is staffed.

Savvycom

Savvycom was founded in 2009 and publishes a Hanoi headquarters plus offices in Seoul, Bangkok and Tokyo on Clutch; its website lists further offices including Sydney and Singapore. Clutch shows 4.9 from 27 reviews. Its website describes AI development, mobile development with Flutter and React Native, and dedicated teams. Best fit: buyers who want a larger vendor with multi-country sales coverage. Ask about: the specific Hanoi team proposed and how case-study metrics on its site were measured.

Adamo Software

Founded in 2018, Adamo lists a Hanoi headquarters and 50–249 employees on Clutch, with a 4.8 rating from 13 reviews. AI development and web development each account for 30% of its published service mix, and its website lists named AI case studies such as an AI-powered internal workforce assistant. Best fit: projects of $25,000 or more that combine AI features with web or mobile delivery. Ask about: evaluation methods for its AI work.

Newwave Solutions

Founded in 2011 with a Cau Giay head office and 250–999 employees on Clutch, Newwave shows 4.9 from 67 reviews. Flutter is its largest listed framework at 32%, followed by .NET, React, React Native and Ruby on Rails. Best fit: cost-sensitive projects and Flutter mobile work, with a $5,000 minimum. Ask about: seniority mix at the lowest rate band.

VNEXT Holdings

VNEXT was founded in 2008, lists a Hanoi headquarters, a Da Nang branch and a Japanese subsidiary, and shows 5.0 from 6 reviews. It publishes ODC, dedicated team, staff augmentation and project-based models. Best fit: buyers who want an offshore development centre model or have Japanese-market requirements. Ask about: English-language project management if your team is not in Japan.

Rikkeisoft

Rikkeisoft lists 1,000–9,999 employees, a Hanoi headquarters and eight locations across Vietnam and Japan. Its Clutch profile has 5.0 from 3 reviews, which is a small sample for a company of its size. Best fit: large programmes that need scale and multi-site delivery. Ask about: references from projects similar to yours, since few public reviews exist.

Orient Software

Founded in 2005, Orient Software is headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City and lists offices in Da Nang and Hanoi. It shows 5.0 from 4 reviews, publishes a $50,000 minimum project size and runs an AI and data division called Neurond AI. Best fit: larger web and mobile programmes where the buyer accepts delivery across several cities. Ask about: whether your team would sit in Hanoi.

Compare fit rather than company size alone

Company size affects risk differently depending on your project. A large vendor can absorb staff changes and scale quickly, but your project may be a small account handled by a junior team. A small vendor may give senior attention but have less capacity to scale. Use the matrix below to narrow the list before you talk to sales teams.

Prepare a Hanoi vendor enquiry

Proposals are only comparable when every vendor answers the same brief. Before contacting your shortlist, prepare a one-page enquiry that covers:

1. Business goal: what the software must achieve and how you will measure it.
2. Scope: the core user journeys, platforms and integrations for the first release.
3. Working overlap: your location and the hours you need engineers available. Hanoi is UTC+7 all year.
4. Engagement model: scoped project, dedicated team or a discovery phase first.
5. Ownership: who holds repositories, cloud and app store accounts, and how IP transfer is handled in the contract.
6. Decision timeline: when you need proposals and when work should start.

Ask each company to name the people who would work on your project, their location and their time allocation. That single question reveals more about Hanoi presence than any directory listing.

Questions to ask before you sign

• Which office will the team work from, and will any work be subcontracted?
• Can we interview the proposed tech lead before signing?
• How are scope changes estimated and approved?
• What is included in the rate: project management, QA, DevOps?
• What happens at handover: documentation, credentials and access removal?

Frequently asked questions

Is Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City better for software outsourcing?

Both cities have mature software industries. Hanoi hosts many companies with government, enterprise and Japanese-market experience; Ho Chi Minh City has a large concentration of outsourcing and product companies. Choose the vendor and team first, then confirm the city where they work.

Do I need to visit Hanoi to work with a local team?

No. Most engagements run remotely. A visit can help at kick-off or for long engagements, and a Hanoi-based team makes that easier to arrange.

What is a typical minimum project size in Hanoi?

Among the companies in this comparison, published minimums on Clutch range from $1,000 to $50,000. Minimums are a signal of the projects a vendor prefers, not a fixed rule.

How should I compare rates from Hanoi vendors?

Ask for role-by-role rates, billable hours per month and what is included. Our guide to dedicated team costs in Vietnam explains how to convert quotes into a comparable monthly budget.

Are directory ratings reliable?

They are useful context but not proof. Review counts differ in size, some reviews are older than others, and directories may earn fees for some placements. Read the detailed reviews that match your project type and contact references directly.
