10 Best Offshore Development Companies in the Philippines (2026)
In this article
Just to be transparent: I’m the founder of one of these companies. If that bothers you, stop reading now. If it doesn’t, think about how you’d want me to review this list, then judge me by that standard.
Full Scale offers offshore software development from the Philippines, and so does every other company below. Ranking my own competitors publicly is weird, but someone’s got to do it, or you’re stuck with a stack of vendor-authored top-10 lists that never explain how their own company ended up at number one. I did the same test on Full Scale for this one.
How I ranked these companies
The important question is how you actually find a good offshore development company in the Philippines. My answer: find a friend who’s done business with one, even if they’re not on this list, even if their “methodology” is just a shrug.
I don’t personally know nine of the ten companies here, and I’d guess most of the internet writing “best of” posts about the Philippines doesn’t either. Instead of firsthand experience, I ranked them on two proxies.
Third-party proof: any evidence besides a company’s own advertising that it’s actually good at what it does. Clutch star ratings count, especially weighed against how many reviews back them up, and a client list a company is willing to show you counts too.
Industry reputation: does the company have a name beyond a single review profile? How long has it been around? Is it publicly traded? Would you recognize its clients even without this list telling you to?
Those are real proxies. Neither is perfect. There are probably dozens of other Philippine offshore shops with stronger, better-proven client relationships than some names here, and I have no way of knowing which ones. Use this as a starting point, then go find yourself a real referral.

1. Full Scale
Founded 2018, based in Cebu City, Philippines, with 350+ employees and a Clutch rating of 4.7/5 across 7 reviews. Best for businesses that want a long-term, dedicated team rather than a short-term, transactional vendor. That’s us.
We recruit, hire, and manage all our developers. They’re your team, your codebase, your stand-up. We’ve helped over 200 clients since founding, hold 93%+ developer retention, and we’re Great Place to Work Certified in the Philippines. We’ve made the Inc. 5000 list five years running.
It’s a little narcissistic putting myself at the top of my own list of ten, and I know it. Look at the other nine and judge for yourself whether the reasoning holds water. Staff augmentation isn’t the same thing as software outsourcing, and that distinction deserves its own full article rather than a hasty paragraph here.
2. Accenture
Founded 1989, with offices in Manila, Taguig, and Cebu, employing an estimated 50,000 to 85,000 people in the Philippines. Best for large-scale enterprise programs that need serious consulting depth.
Accenture doesn’t have a Clutch profile at this size, because it doesn’t need one. This global public company (NYSE: ACN) runs technology centers across three Philippine cities, offering cloud, AI, custom software, and enterprise systems work for clients most of the internet will recognize. If you’re in the market for consulting resources at that caliber, you already know it.
3. White Cloak
Founded 2014, based in Metro Manila, with 147 employees and a Clutch rating of 4.9/5 across 27 reviews. Best for fintech and enterprise clients who want staff augmentation and managed delivery from the same provider.
Staff augmentation is White Cloak‘s main focus, with managed delivery and AI transformation offered as separate services, so specify which one you need before you engage them. Their best case study is UnionBank of the Philippines, for whom they built an online banking portal.
4. Offshorly
Founded 2014, headquartered in Stamford, England, with a delivery center in Quezon City and 65+ employees. Clutch rating 4.9/5 across 27 reviews, plus a Clutch Global Award in Spring 2024. Best for startups wanting a UK-led team with a strong focus on QA.
Offshorly bills itself as both a staff augmentation company and a technical outsourcing company. Know which engagement model you’re looking for before contracting with them. A Clutch Global Award is harder to fake than a star rating, and the firm also reports a 91% client retention rate.
5. SSA Group
Founded 2007 in Kharkiv, Ukraine, with Philippine operations, 120+ employees, and a Clutch rating of 4.8/5 across 16 reviews. Best for companies that need to choose a specific contract model.
SSA Group doesn’t beat around the bush on contract models. It names two, project-based and staff augmentation, and describes each one plainly, where most competitors just call their offering “flexible” without saying what that flexibility actually means. SSA Group is ISO/IEC 27001 certified and claims a 98%+ project success rate. Ask the agency directly how it measured that figure.
6. ThinkBIT Solutions
Founded 2014, based in the Philippines, with 50 to 249 employees and a Clutch rating of 5.0/5 across 12 reviews. Best for compliance-heavy or institutional clients.
ThinkBIT Solutions has the highest star rating of any firm on this list, and its client roster is what makes that number stick. Globe Telecom is one named client; UNDP, WHO, and World Vision are others. You don’t win clients like that on a good review score alone. ThinkBIT also carries ISO 27001:2022 and HIPAA/SOC2 compliance experience, worth knowing if your product touches sensitive data.
7. Chromedia
Says it’s been around for over 25 years, per its own site, though other directories list different years, so take that figure with a grain of salt. Based in Denver, Colorado, with an engineering office in Cebu City, 70+ employees, and a Clutch rating of 4.9/5 across 14 reviews. Best for startups wanting fintech or healthcare compliance experience.
Chromedia runs a US headquarters team with an office in the Philippines. Its client list includes Cambium Networks and the Philippine marketplace Autodeal. Its specialty is building MVPs and enterprise apps, with real experience in fintech and healthcare compliance work.
8. Hireplicity
Founded 2008 in Mandaue City, Philippines, with an executive office in Los Angeles, 70+ employees, and a Clutch rating of 4.9/5 across 10 reviews. It’s also the #2 ranked software developer in the country on Clutch, which is the part I actually care about. Best for EdTech and SaaS companies.
Most of Hireplicity‘s work is staff augmentation, per the company, with custom software and mobile development filling out the rest. It claims more than 150 clients and a 95% retention rate. I still care more about the country ranking than either number, because Clutch is measuring Hireplicity against every other contender in the category, not just grading it against its own reviews.
9. VRP Consulting
Founded 1998, Salesforce-focused since 2009, operating out of Poland, Colombia, and the Philippines among others, with 700+ employees and a Clutch rating of 4.8/5 across 11 reviews. Best for companies with a defined Salesforce need.
If Salesforce is specifically what you need, VRP Consulting is worth a look. Over 2,000 Salesforce projects delivered, more than 1,100 Salesforce-certified employees on staff, a level of specialized depth a full-service generalist can’t match. The downside: not all 700+ employees are in the Philippines, so this isn’t the pick if a Philippines-only team is the actual requirement.
10. Mugna Technologies
Tiniest and youngest company on this list. Mugna Technologies is headquartered in Davao City, Philippines, not Cebu as a handful of directories still claim, and I checked that one myself since I didn’t trust the first source either. Fifty-plus designers and engineers working out of one office, and honestly, the main reason Mugna made this list is the rating: 4.9 out of 5 across seven reviews, one of them from named client Setvi Inc. Not a big sample, but a small sample that likes you is still worth something. They work in Python/Django, TypeScript, Firebase, Kotlin, and Swift, pretty much everything a typical web or mobile project actually needs. Best for smaller teams that need full-stack web and mobile work done end to end.
Companies that didn’t make the cut
Five more companies came close and didn’t quite make it, and I’d rather admit they exist and tell you why than pretend otherwise.
Global BrainForce is a good company, but 4.6/5 is the weakest Clutch score of the group. Directio earned a strong 4.8/5, resting on just 5 reviews. Fulcrum Solutions also hit 4.9/5, but on 6 reviews, and I couldn’t find a single named client to check it against. Atticus Advisory Solutions plays a narrower field, NetSuite and ERP specifically, with only 4 reviews to its name. Cambria came in at 4.4/5, the lowest score on this whole page, plus one client review flagging a cost overrun that’s worth asking Cambria to address directly.
None of these five are bad companies. They just came up a bit short of the top 10 on the criteria I’m actually measuring here.
How to actually pick one
A ranking simplifies a real decision into a list, and this decision really comes down to long-term team versus project-based work, not whose logo looks better.
Full Scale, White Cloak, Chromedia, Hireplicity, and Mugna Technologies lean toward staff augmentation. Accenture and ThinkBIT Solutions lean toward project delivery. SSA Group offers both as named services. See our guide to software outsourcing companies in the Philippines for the fuller breakdown of which does what; the distinction matters more than most vendors admit. If you already know you want staff augmentation specifically, the deeper list of IT staff augmentation companies covers nine more names not mentioned here.
Regardless of which model fits, do three things before signing anything. Call at least two current clients who’ll give you a real reference. Demand a straightforward pricing structure, fixed price, T&M, or per seat, before you close out the first call. And ask who else they’ve built for. A long pause before that answer is a red flag no testimonial can match.
Frequently asked questions
I get some version of these on nearly every call, so here they are up front.
Is Full Scale ranked first because you run the site?
Partly, yes, and I’m putting that out there upfront rather than keeping it under my hat. Judge the list on the methodology and the other nine entries, and make up your own mind whether the ranking is fair.
What’s the difference between an offshore development company and a staffing agency?
An offshore development company builds and staffs real software work: engineers, QA, mobile, backend. Tell a staffing agency you need a software engineer and they’ll send you one, right alongside your accountant hire and your call center hire, because software is just one more line on the menu for them. That’s exactly why so many of those broader “top offshoring” lists end up full of staffing generalists pretending to be software specialists. I filtered out any company that isn’t actually in the business of software.
How much does it cost to hire an offshore development company in the Philippines?
It depends heavily on seniority and engagement model. If a company hands you a single number before asking anything about your project, that’s a red flag. Picking a vendor by price alone is what I call cheapshoring. Full Scale’s own rates start at $35 an hour and up, fully loaded, with the final number set by seniority and team size.
Should I pick the highest-rated company on this list?
Not necessarily. A 5.0 on 4 reviews isn’t really comparable to a 4.8 on 27, even though the numeric gap is only 0.2 stars. A company’s specialty, Salesforce versus fintech compliance versus general full-stack work, matters more than that gap. Read the “best for” line for each entry before you compare star ratings.
Ready to talk to an offshore development company that’s actually being straight with you?
We made our case for putting Full Scale on this list, said why, and showed the work behind the other nine. If you’re looking for a dedicated team for the long haul, schedule a call and we’ll tell you plainly whether we’re a good fit or not.
