The Truth About ServiceNow Pricing
How much does ServiceNow cost? ServiceNow uses value-based pricing, meaning price is set based on how much value they believe you, the customer, places on the solution (how badly you need/want it). This causes a market dynamic where the price of ServiceNow products vary significantly from customer to customer. The greater your need, and the less time you have to shop around, the more ServiceNow can charge.
The good news: ServiceNow quotes are not set in stone. You can negotiate ServiceNow pricing and contract terms to make them lean in your favor. There are nine key elements deal leaders need to gain proficiency in to drive deal success. These nine areas are emphasized in ClearEdge's negotiation framework, the Leverage Management Maturity Model (LM3):

Risk Assessment & Inspection
Forecast & Modeling
Deal Timeline Development
Supplier Knowledge

Do we have an organized approach to starting deals on time?
Do we understand all ServiceNow contract and business risks?
How much ServiceNow product do we need, and when do we need it?
Have we documented a calendar of ServiceNow deal-making activities?
How might ServiceNow pricing strategy and motivations affect my deal?
What ServiceNow deal alternatives or "Plan Bs" do we have?
What information will we protect, and what will we share?
Are executives informed, aligned and participating on the deal?
Are we controlling the story with credible and consistent messages?
