Prospect survey about competitor alternatives

Create expert-level survey by chatting with AI.

Ever wish you could generate a high-quality Prospect survey about competitor alternatives with just a click? That’s exactly what you can do right here—thanks to Specific’s AI survey generator. You can launch your survey and start collecting feedback in seconds, using tools designed by experts for real insights.

Why Prospect competitor alternatives surveys matter

If you’re not running these surveys, you’re missing a goldmine of untapped understanding about how prospects see you versus your competition. Getting direct feedback from prospects on competitor alternatives is one of the clearest ways to:

  • Uncover why prospects consider other options: Learn what features or perceptions tip the scales away from your offering.

  • Pinpoint your real differentiation: Don’t just guess what makes you unique—hear it directly from the people in the market.

  • Make laser-focused improvements: Tweak product, messaging, or sales strategy based on what prospects actually want or worry about.

Here’s what a lot of brands miss: AI-powered surveys consistently deliver completion rates of 70–90%, while traditional surveys drag behind at 10–30% [1]. That means every missed survey is possibly a dozen unheard voices per 100 prospects. If you’re not asking, your competitors probably are.

Want more survey inspiration? Here’s a deeper dive into the best questions for Prospect competitor alternatives surveys—totally worth a read before you generate your own.

AI survey generator vs traditional survey creation

Let’s be honest: building a survey manually can be a drag. You stare at a blank form, wrestle with wording, try to avoid bias, and set logic that falls apart if a respondent goes off script. With an AI survey generator like Specific, the process is dramatically smoother—and leads to a much richer feedback experience.

Traditional Surveys

AI-Generated Surveys

Manual question drafting

Automatic expert-level question generation

Static forms, limited follow-up

Conversational & adaptive, real-time AI followups

Low completion rates (often under 30%)

High engagement (70–90% completion rates)

Analysis is manual and time-consuming

AI instantly summarizes and analyzes results

Why use AI for Prospect surveys? AI survey generators like Specific combine industry best practices, language expertise, and dynamic logic. The result? You generate more thoughtful, personalized surveys, and your respondents see relevant, clear questions that adapt on the fly. Plus, because surveys feel conversational, abandonment rates plummet—just 15–25% versus 40–55% for static forms [1]. That’s a genuine step up in feedback quality and volume.

Specific leads the way in user experience for conversational surveys—our feedback flows feel like real conversations, not static forms. Your prospects will thank you (sometimes, literally).

Designing questions that drive real insight

Most survey tools leave you to craft questions on your own. That’s where mistakes happen—unclear, double-barreled, or leading questions that skew results. With Specific, the AI survey generator leverages expert logic to form questions that dig deeper while staying neutral and easy to answer.

For example:

  • Bad: “What don’t you like about our products and why don’t you use anything else?”

  • Good: “What competitor alternatives did you consider, and what factors influenced your decision?”

Specific’s AI recognizes when a question is vague, double-barreled, or potentially biased, and suggests clear, targeted alternatives. It probes gently, so the respondent never feels interrogated but does reveal what matters most.

Actionable tip: When crafting your own Prospect competitor alternatives survey, focus each question on a single topic. If in doubt, the AI survey builder can reword your questions or create the ideal survey in a snap—just ask in plain English. Interested in editing questions with AI?

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

A major breakthrough with Specific is automated follow-ups: the AI tailors questions on the fly, responding to what each Prospect actually says. No more sifting through ambiguous answers days later—get the full context in real time.

  • Prospect: “I checked out a few alternatives but wasn’t convinced.”

  • AI follow-up: “Can you share which alternatives you considered and what didn’t convince you about them?”

  • Prospect: “Their pricing seemed better.”

  • AI follow-up: “Was it only the price, or were there other differences you noticed between our product and theirs?”

If you miss these targeted follow-ups, responses stay vague and you’ll need to go back and forth (often via clunky emails) to clarify—costing time and risking lost info. AI-driven follow-ups mean you get to “why” and “how” much faster, making the insights you collect far more useful. Read about this feature in depth at AI-powered survey follow-up questions.

Followups transform your survey into a genuine conversation. With Specific, your surveys are truly conversational—building trust and uncovering richer insights from your Prospects.

How to deliver Prospect competitor alternatives surveys

Distribution is as important as survey content, especially with busy Prospects weighing competitor options. With Specific, you have two flexible delivery modes—each ideal for different outreach strategies:

  • Sharable landing page surveys:

    • Post a survey as a unique link—easy to email to Prospects, include in nurture campaigns, or drop in social DMs.

    • Perfect when you need insights from Prospects not yet inside your product, or running targeted market research.

  • In-product surveys:

    • Embed the conversational survey directly in your SaaS, free trial, or app flow.

    • Great for capturing feedback at decision points—while Prospects are comparing you to competitors, or before they drop off a trial or upgrade flow.

If your goal is to interview Prospects pre-purchase or outside your product, the landing page option is ideal. For capturing context at the moment of decision, in-product surveys win. Both can maximize reach—choose what’s best for your workflow or combine them for the broadest coverage.

Want step-by-step setup tips? Our guide on how to create a Prospect survey about competitor alternatives covers best practices for both options.
