Geniziz vs ServiceNow CSM: the ServiceNow CSM alternative that doesn't charge per seat
Is Geniziz a good ServiceNow CSM alternative? Yes. Geniziz covers the same core workflow — pipeline, shared inbox, calling, sequences, reporting and AI — with three differences: unlimited users (you pay by contacts, not seats), every feature on every plan, and bring-your-own-keys so AI, email and calling bill at provider cost.

What ServiceNow CSM costs, and what the same team costs here
ServiceNow CSM bills like this: Fully custom quote, generally per named/fulfiller user license plus platform and module fees; nothing published.
The tiering is the part that bites: Core case management is separate from Advanced Work Assignment, Advanced Case Management, Proactive Customer Service Operations, and Now Assist (generative AI) - all sold as additional licensed packages on the Now Platform.
Geniziz removes both levers. Unlimited users, unlimited workspaces, every feature on every plan, and one price set only by how many contacts you hold.
ServiceNow CSM does not publish list pricing, so there is no honest number to put beside ours. Geniziz publishes every price: €49, €149 or €299 a month by contact count, unlimited users on all three.

Migrating from ServiceNow CSM to Geniziz
Exports via Table API/Excel; core objects are Cases, Accounts, Contacts, Configuration Items (CMDB) - an enterprise service-management data model rather than a simple ticket/contact model.
You keep the structure, not just the rows. Companies, contacts, deals and the activity timeline come across with their links intact — the wizard relinks records by ID first, then falls back to company name and email domain — so the pipeline you open on the other side is the pipeline you had. Afterwards you keep full ownership: a full export anytime, an open REST API, webhooks, and MCP for agents.

- 1. Export your data from ServiceNow CSM (CSV or JSON — companies, contacts, deals, activities).
