Not All Outsource Directories
Are on Your Side

Here is how Outsource2Vietnam.com and o2vn.com compare to the commission-driven models used by most international outsource directories.

For companies wanting to outsource to Vietnam For Vietnamese companies considering listing with us
A note on affiliate-style directory models: Some directory sites present companies based on who pays the highest commission β€” not who is the best fit for your needs. They charge extra to rank higher, recommend a short "curated" list from paying partners, and keep navigation deliberately vague so you have to contact them first. Our two directories work differently.

Head-to-Head Comparison

Feature Outsource2Vietnam / o2vn Typical Outsource Directories
Direct contact with companies βœ”Go directly to Vietnamese Company Websites ✘You fill out a form; they send you 2–3 "recommended" paying partners
Navigation clarity βœ”Logical categories & sub-categories β€” find what you need instantly ✘Often vague or keyword-stuffed; designed to keep you on-site longer
Ranking model βœ”Hourly auto-rotation β€” every listed company reaches the #1 spot ✘Pay-to-rank: higher fees = higher placement. Not necessarily the best match for you business needs
Commission on referrals βœ”None. We earn only from flat-fee from companies listed on our platfrom ✘Commission paid by recommended companies skews results
An Option to Broadcast your requirements βœ”Post your RFQ and Vietnamese companies on our platform will contact you, through a password protected page. You will not receive spam –If offered, the platform contacts you, not the companies
Country focus βœ”Vietnam only β€” deep expertise, curated listings ✘Lists 50+ countries to maximise ad revenue; thin Vietnam coverage
Listing cost fairness βœ”Flat subscription β€” all listed companies get equal exposure ✘Tiered pricing for visibility; small expert companies priced out of top spots
Founder accountability βœ”Albert (founder) responds personally to every enquiry –Typically corporate / anonymous support

What We Do Differently

01
Logical Navigation
Clear categories and sub-categories let you drill straight to the type of Vietnamese company you need β€” no gatekeeping, no form to fill first.
02
Direct Email Access
Contact as many listed companies as you want, directly. No middleman, no "we'll pass your details on" delay.
03
Hourly Rotation
Sub-category lists rotate every hour. Every company β€” regardless of subscription tier β€” gets equal time in the top spot.
04
Broadcast Your Brief
Post your requirements once via our broadcast form and every company in the relevant category receives your email. They come to you.
05
Vietnam-Only Focus
We cover Vietnam exclusively. For broad outsourcing, India and the Philippines lead certain sectors β€” but for all-around value, agility, and quality, Vietnam is the standout choice, and we know it deeply.

Red Flags on Other Directories

Watch for these patterns

  • The shortlist form: "Tell us what you need and we'll send you three great options." Those three companies almost always pay a referral commission.
  • Pay-to-rank listings: The companies at the top aren't necessarily the best β€” they paid more to appear there.
  • Country dumping: Sites that list every country dilute their Vietnam coverage and prioritise breadth over depth; their Vietnam section is often outdated and thin.
  • Vague navigation: If you can't find the specific category you need in under 60 seconds, the site isn't built for you β€” it's built to funnel you towards their recommendations.
  • No direct contact: When a directory won't let you email a listed company directly, that's a commercial decision, not a quality-control one.
