The Verdict
Helpjuice is built for support teams and saas companies, with a focus on knowledge-base and intelligent-search. ServiceNow targets enterprise and it departments and leads with itsm and itom.

Neither tool offers a free plan, so factor the subscription cost into your decision from the start.
This is a genuinely close comparison. If you can, sign up for both free trials (where available) and run a one-week test with your actual team tasks before deciding.
