ServiceNow stock: AI usage surges as pricing model shifts

ServiceNow outlined a sharper shift toward agentic artificial intelligence, autonomous workers and consumption-based revenue at the BMO Capital Technology and Innovation Leaders Conference on Thursday, November 12. Investing.com reported that management described strong demand in employee and business workflows but also pointed to intensifying competition.

AI Consumption Gains Momentum

ServiceNow said agentic use increased 13 times year over year, while AI Control Tower adoption rose six times. More than half of third-quarter revenue came from non-seat-based models, highlighting the growing role of usage and outcomes alongside traditional seat licensing.

EmployeeWorks generated 100 million US dollars in revenue during the first three quarters of the fiscal year. The unit closed 10 deals worth more than 1 million US dollars in the third quarter, while customer count rose 60 percent during the quarter.

Enterprise Demand Meets Competition

The company is targeting spending pools beyond traditional software and information technology budgets, including business-process outsourcing. Management said autonomous workers can handle service requests, invoice processing, collections and procurement tasks, with enterprise governance and workflow orchestration positioned as differentiators.

Executives also said seats were still growing and expected to continue growing in calendar year 2027. At the same time, smaller specialists are becoming more credible competitors, particularly in finance and procurement, increasing the pressure on ServiceNow to demonstrate customer value and effective controls.
