Choosing Manao Software as your software house in Thailand gives you plenty of flexibility. We provide custom software development services to various companies, from early-stage startups to multinational enterprises. To support these diverse needs, we offer two tailored engagement models, allowing you to choose what works best for your business.
Dedicated Teams
- Monthly billing
- Flexibility
- Easy scaling
- Full control
- Cost efficiency
- Long-term project support
- Access to a diverse talent pool
For long-term software development projects, especially those where features are continually being added, having a full-time, dedicated outsourced development team that only works on your project is an excellent choice. You can set up your whole team at Manao Software or augment your existing in-house team, and you can add specialist roles on an hourly basis for UX/UI design, DevOps, Solution Architecture, etc.
Dedicated teams give you a predictable monthly software development budget with the flexibility to scale the team size up or down as needed from month to month.
Advantages of Dedicated Teams:
Monthly Billing
Simplify budgeting with a consistent, predictable monthly expense.
Cost Efficiency
Reduce costs by avoiding the expenses associated with hiring, training, and maintaining an in-house team.
Flexibility
Scale your team up or down based on project demands so you always have the right amount of resources without the hassle of rehiring or layoffs.
Full Control
Maintain oversight and direct communication with your team, ensuring your project stays aligned with your vision and requirements.
Long-Term Project Support
This model is ideal for ongoing projects that require continuous development, maintenance, and updates.
Access to a Diverse Talent Pool
Tap into a wide range of skills and expertise that might not be available locally, so your project benefits from top-tier talent.

Fixed Price Projects
- Milestone based billing
- Predictability
- Well defined goals
- Transparency
- Predefined investment
- Timeline certainty
- Ease of management
If the scope of work is well defined and you want to be certain of the budget and timeline from the beginning, then a fixed-price project will provide the financial predictability and clear expectations you need. It does not have to come at the cost of flexibility. We are happy to make adjustments for you along the way at no charge. For bigger changes, we have a zero-headache process for handling change requests.
With a fixed-price project, you always know how much you will invest in advance, regardless of whether the project requires more effort than estimated.
Advantages of Fixed-Price Projects:
Milestone-Based Billing
Payments are tied to project milestones, ensuring you only pay for completed work and making it easier to manage your cash flow.
Predictability
Knowing the total cost upfront makes it easier to budget and manage finances, eliminating the risk of budget overruns and maintaining financial predictability.
Well-Defined Goals
Clear project scope and objectives provide a solid framework for development and set precise expectations.
Transparency
Regular updates and milestone reviews keep you informed about the project’s progress and any potential issues.
Timeline Certainty
