Pricing and Cost Advice

"ServiceNow is not open source, so there is a license you must pay. As for how much it costs, what I have observed is that it often depends on your subscriptions."
"From what I heard, the license for the ServiceNow Now Platform is paid monthly, and on a scale of one to five, I'm rating it a three in terms of pricing, so it's on the cheaper side. I don't know of any additional costs associated with the ServiceNow Now Platform, apart from the standard licensing fees."
"Price-wise, I would describe the product's cost to be more than the average, but it compensates for that with the functionalities that it provides."
"Pricing is based on the number of users and user licenses, but the product is 20% to 30% more than the competition."
"There are extra expenses for maintaining the product apart from the licenses."
"It is expensive only."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being very expensive solution."
