Hi @NiveditaK514711

All these are different tools in ServiceNow but each one is meant for a different type of work.

1. Studio (ServiceNow Studio)
This is mainly for developers. You use it when you’re building applications with scripting like Business Rules, Script Includes, APIs etc. It gives full control and is more flexible but you need technical knowledge.

2. App Engine Studio
This is more low code. It’s designed for functional users or beginners. You can create tables, forms, flows and simple apps using guided steps without writing much code. Good for quick app building.

3. UI Builder
This is for designing the frontend (UI). You use it to build Workspaces or custom pages using components, layouts and data resources. It’s mostly about how the application looks and behaves for users.

4. ServiceNow Studio
This is just the full name of Studio — both are the same thing.

Hope this makes it clear.
