About ServiceNow App Engine

ServiceNow App Engine is the low-code application development part of the ServiceNow platform. It lets developers and business users build custom workflow apps, such as request forms, approvals and case management tools, that run on the same data model and security framework as ServiceNow's other products.

Because it is part of ServiceNow, apps can reuse the platform's existing workflow engine, user management and integrations, and they are managed in the same environment as other enterprise processes. It is a commercial cloud product sold to organizations already invested in ServiceNow, usually through a sales process, rather than a standalone self-serve tool.
