Netbase JSC vs Rikkeisoft vs FPT vs Saigon Technology

For a mid-size, fixed-price-leaning custom software project, FPT Software positions itself for large enterprise programmes, Rikkeisoft as a Japan-first transformation partner, Saigon Technology for US and European product companies, and Netbase JSC for fixed-price projects with the CEO as first contact; the right fit depends on project size, not a single ranked winner.

Netbase JSC wrote this page and is one of the four companies compared below; this is not an independent, third-party ranking. Every fact about Rikkeisoft, FPT Software and Saigon Technology is sourced to that company's own site, dated 2026-10-26; every Netbase fact is a registered company fact, not a claim written for this page. No rating, review count or price appears anywhere below, for any of the four.

Who is this head-to-head comparison for?

A buyer who already has Rikkeisoft, FPT Software or Saigon Technology on a shortlist and wants to see them next to Netbase JSC. This page compares the four directly, from each company's own published facts, with no rating, review count or price used to decide the order.

What criteria decide this comparison, before any ranking?

These six criteria are fixed before any company is placed, and are written for the buyer this page is for: a mid-size company with a fixed-price-leaning custom software project. A buyer running a large, multi-year enterprise programme, or one that needs an onsite team, should weight these differently -- see the next section for where that changes the answer.

  1. Fit for a single mid-size project -- an engagement model and scale that suit one project, not only multi-year programmes.
  2. Fixed-price option published -- the company's own site states fixed price as an available or default model, not only time-and-materials or "based on requirements."
  3. Published delivery record -- case studies, named clients or a stated project count on the company's own site, not a directory profile.
  4. Access to senior leadership -- a founder, CEO or senior-led team named on the company's own site.
  5. Remote delivery to US or UK clients -- evidence of delivering to those markets remotely.
  6. Web-to-print or commerce platform niche -- a published record in that specific vertical, not just a general industry list.

How do the four companies compare?

Company Founded, HQ and ownership Published scale, delivery models and main markets Best for
Netbase JSC 2012 (F004); Hanoi, its only office; ownership not publicly listed 500+ clients (F013) in 80 countries (F190); fixed-price projects first (F067), also dedicated teams (F018); remote delivery to any country (F192) Mid-size, fixed-price custom software and web-to-print or commerce projects where the CEO is the first contact
Rikkeisoft 2012; Hanoi; ownership not publicly listed "Over 2,000 employees", "500+ global clients"; offshore development center model (case study), fixed price not listed on the pages checked; Japan-first, expanded to US, Europe, South Korea, Thailand, Australia A Japan-first digital and AI transformation partner expanding in the US and Europe (its own positioning)
FPT Software Not stated on its own pages (third-party sources differ); Hanoi; a subsidiary of FPT Corporation "7,900+ certified experts" on its about page; "an optimal mix of onshore, offshore and nearshore," fixed price not listed on its about page; 30+ countries, regional sites plus a UK entity Large, multi-year enterprise programmes needing scale and many industry practices
Saigon Technology 2012; Ho Chi Minh City; entity STS Software Technology JSC "400+ software developers", "350+ clients"; Fixed Price ("fixed scope, fixed timeline"), dedicated team, staff augmentation, Build-Operate-Transfer; Europe, US, Australia, Singapore US and European product companies wanting an explicit fixed-price or BOT option

Read against the six criteria, the pricing line is the clearest difference: Netbase JSC and Saigon Technology state fixed price on their own pages, while Rikkeisoft does not list it on the pages checked and FPT Software does not list it on its about page. FPT Software and Rikkeisoft publish larger headcount figures, which a buyer may want to weigh as project size and compliance needs grow.

Company profiles

Netbase JSC

Founded in 2012 and based in Hanoi, its only office, Netbase JSC has worked with 500+ clients (F013) in 80 countries (F190), delivered remotely with the CEO, Huy Nguyen (David), as the first contact by WhatsApp or email (F192). Most Netbase projects run on fixed-price contracts (F067), alongside dedicated teams, project-based delivery and fully managed options (F018); its Business Divisions (F025) add web-to-print and commerce platform delivery depth. Netbase does not publish a headcount or an office outside Hanoi, and this page cites no certification. Best for: a mid-size, fixed-price custom software or web-to-print project where the CEO as first contact matters; see the custom software development service and the offshore development center model.

Rikkeisoft

Founded in 2012 in Hanoi, Rikkeisoft states "over 2,000 employees" and "500+ global clients," rooted in Japan before expanding into the US, Europe, South Korea, Thailand and Australia. An offshore development center model appears in a case-study title; fixed price is not listed on the pages checked, and its services span software development, AI transformation and digital-transformation consulting. Best for: a buyer looking for a Japan-first digital and AI transformation partner with enterprise clients, by its own positioning.

FPT Software

A subsidiary of FPT Corporation, headquartered in Hanoi, with a dedicated UK entity (FPT United Kingdom, London) and sites across the Americas, Australasia, Japan, Korea and Europe. Its own pages give differing headcount figures and do not state a founding year; fixed price is not listed on its about page. Best for: large, multi-year enterprise programmes needing scale, an onshore/offshore/nearshore mix and many industry practices -- a different buyer shape than the mid-size, fixed-price project this page is written for.

Saigon Technology

Founded in 2012 in Ho Chi Minh City, Saigon Technology states "400+ software developers" and "350+ clients, from funded startups to enterprise teams." Its own pages explicitly state Fixed Price ("fixed scope, fixed timeline") plus dedicated team, staff augmentation and Build-Operate-Transfer options, with offices in Reston, Virginia (US) and Singapore. Best for: US and European product companies that want an explicit fixed-price or Build-Operate-Transfer option stated outright.

What delivery record exists, and what does not

Every non-Netbase fact above comes from one pass of that company's own site on 2026-10-26; none of it is audited, and pages change without notice. Netbase's own delivery record is limited to the registered facts cited (F004, F013, F018, F025, F067, F190, F192): no staff count and no office outside Hanoi is published here, and this page cites no certification. A buyer comparing certifications, headcount or named enterprise clients across any of the four should verify the current figure on that company's own site rather than this snapshot.

Where AI fits in this comparison

Rikkeisoft names "AI Transformation" among its services and Saigon Technology offers "AI development"; this page does not rank any company by AI capability, only what each site states. Netbase's AI capability areas on record are machine learning, NLP, computer vision, generative AI and AI with IoT (F028).

How should a mid-size buyer choose between these four companies?

  1. Write down your project's actual shape first

    Is the budget fixed, or is scope still moving? That answer decides whether a fixed-price or dedicated-team model fits, more than any company's brand.

  2. Shortlist by pricing model, not reputation

    Netbase JSC and Saigon Technology state fixed price as a standing option on their own sites; Rikkeisoft does not list it on the pages checked and FPT Software does not list it on its about page.

  3. Decide if project scale changes the answer

    A multi-year or multi-country programme is the shape FPT Software's and Rikkeisoft's published scale is aimed at, rather than a single mid-size project.

  4. Check who you will actually talk to, in writing, before signing

    A CEO, a dedicated account manager or a rotating project-management layer changes how escalations get resolved later.

  5. Ask for the published delivery record, not a sales deck

    Treat anything not shown on the company's own site as unverified, including headcount and certifications.

  6. Cross-check with the sibling guides

    Read the Vietnam software outsourcing guide for the full cost and risk checklist behind these criteria, and the large or boutique vendor guide if team size, not country, is still the open question.

Limits of this guide

This page compares exactly four named companies from a researched set; it does not rank by review-site score or price, and none is recorded for any of the four. Every non-Netbase fact comes from one pass of that company's own site on 2026-10-26, except where marked as a secondary search-result excerpt in the underlying research record; none of it is audited, and this page is reviewed again at least every 90 days.

Frequently asked questions

No. Netbase JSC wrote this page and is one of the four companies compared; every fact about the other three is sourced to its own site so a reader can verify it independently, and no rating or score is used for any of the four, including Netbase.

FPT Software is the only one of the four with a separate UK entity (FPT United Kingdom, London) for onshore relationship management; Netbase JSC, Rikkeisoft and Saigon Technology publish no UK office.

Netbase JSC and Saigon Technology state fixed price on their own pages; Rikkeisoft does not list it on the pages checked and FPT Software does not list it on its about page.

No. Both describe enterprise-scale delivery on their own sites; the criteria on this page are written for a different buyer, a mid-size, fixed-price-leaning project, not a judgment that either company does poor work.

Not on its own. Headcount is one published figure among several; a mid-size buyer should ask each company who will staff and lead the project, and check the answer against the criteria above.

Every company fact was checked on 2026-10-26 against that company's own site; this page is reviewed again at least every 90 days, and a changed fact is corrected, not left in place.
