Why would one use a service program instead of a stand-alone program? and the opposite?

For the sake of discussion, lets use a FAQ program that is for the F1 key in programs and is system wide. Its the same everywhere - the only change being the FAQ data file which is determined by the library list. It displays FAQs and can be edited to add, delete, and update questions. Its an actual application I use, as a standalone program.

So, I see Service Programs mentioned and think I should change how I do it. Then I look at the process and scratch my head. Why would I make the change? What is the benefit? The more I read about it, the faster I scratch.
