Resolve vs ServiceNow

ServiceNow rebranded Now Assist and Moveworks as Otto, then put the AI on a meter. Resolve runs flat-priced agents that resolve across systems, on top of the ITSM you keep.

COMPARISON CHART

Lower Total Costs without Compromise

Reduce ServiceNow software costs by up to 62% by replacing NowAssist/Otto and workflows; while keeping ServiceNow ITSM in place.
COMPARISON CHART

Software Savings Are Just the Beginning

ServiceNow customers who switch to Resolve cut ticket volume up to 70%, compounding the savings as you scale instead of metering them.

ServiceNow Otto

Automation Vision

Outcome-first automation that executes work end to end and closes incidents across systems.

Ticketing and routing at the core. Otto adds a conversational front door, still built around categorize, prioritize, hand off.

AI Capabilities

Agentic AI runs resolution end to end, with optional human-in-the-loop for governance and approvals. Full autonomy is standard, not a tier.

Otto repackages Now Assist and Moveworks. Autonomous resolution, the L1 Service Desk AI Specialist, sits in the top Prime tier. Foundation and Advanced stay assistive.

Time to Value

5,000+ prebuilt automations go live fast, no heavy customization.

Advanced automation takes months of configuration and consulting. Legacy SKUs end of sale July 1, 2026, forcing renewals onto the new model.

Cost & Scalability

Flat pricing. No per-ticket, per-user, per-workflow, or token fees. Cost holds as usage grows.

Every Otto tier ships a monthly assist pool. Heavy teams drain it mid-month and buy top-up packs at a per-unit rate, on top of fulfiller seats and 5 to 10% annual escalators.

Escalation Support

Automation owns incidents end to end, cutting misroutes and manual fixes.

Brittle routing and rule upkeep drive repeat escalations and manual correction.

Automation Model

Outcome-first automation that executes work end to end and closes incidents across systems; not just routing tickets.

Primarily used for ticketing and routing. Automation focuses on categorization, prioritization, and handoffs, not consistent resolution.

AI Capabilities

Agentic AI executes resolution playbooks with optional human-in-the-loop controls for governance, risk, and approvals.

AI is assistive and suggestive; routing, summaries, and recommendations with humans completing resolution.

Time to Value

5,000+ prebuilt automations deliver fast time to value without heavy customization or long projects.

Advanced automation requires months of configuration, specialist skills, and consulting support.

Cost & Scalability

Predictable pricing that scales with outcomes, not tickets, users, or workflow volume.

Stack SKUs and consumption thresholds increase costs as customers add AI and workflow automation on top of ITSM.

Escalation Support

Automation owns incidents end to end, reducing misroutes, escalations, and manual fixes.

Brittle routing and rule maintenance lead to frequent escalations and manual correction.

THE TOKEN MATH

Bundled AI Still Runs on a Meter

ServiceNow collapsed five tiers into three: Foundation, Advanced, Prime. AI moved inside every tier, then onto a meter. Each tier ships an assist pool that resets monthly. Drain it and the top-up packs start. The autonomy that actually closes work sits in Prime, the tier you pay the most for. Resolve prices automation flat and runs every agent at full autonomy from day one.

The result was millions in annual savings without removing our SNOW ITSM foundation."
