Choosing Between Salesforce and ServiceNow in 2025: A Founder’s Perspective
Caught in the classic dilemma—Salesforce vs ServiceNow in 2025? You’re not alone. As a SaaS founder in Bengaluru recently put it, “Spreadsheets no longer cut it,” and the next decision is as much about strategic direction as tools.

On the operational side, ServiceNow has transformed internal workflows—bolstered by its $2.85B acquisition of Moveworks—leading to a 30% YoY jump in AI workflow deals and over $2B in annual contract value.
