SaaS Customer survey about net promoter score (nps)

Create expert-level survey by chatting with AI.

Creating a high-quality SaaS customer Net Promoter Score (NPS) survey can be complicated and time-consuming—but with Specific’s AI survey generator, you can generate one in seconds, right here on this page. Give it a try and see how much easier it can be.

Why SaaS customer NPS surveys matter

If you’re not running regular SaaS customer NPS surveys, you’re missing out on direct customer feedback that competitors are already leveraging. The average NPS for SaaS companies is around 36—but standout performers, like Nutanix, are reaching scores as high as 92. That’s a big gap, and it often comes down to how well you collect and act on customer insights. [1]

Here’s what makes these surveys essential:

  • Benchmarking against the industry: SaaS leaders know their score and track improvements over time. Not measuring means flying blind while others outpace you.

  • Predicting loyalty and growth: NPS isn’t just a vanity metric. It directly correlates to customer retention and word-of-mouth potential—core drivers in SaaS growth models.

  • Spotting pain points early: You discover churn risks and product friction before they become full-blown problems.

  • Proving product-market fit: Investors, executive teams, and even potential acquirers look to NPS as a proxy for customer satisfaction and future success.

So, if you aren’t proactively running these, you’re leaving valuable product and growth intelligence on the table. For a deep dive into what the best NPS survey questions look like for SaaS customers, we’ve got you covered.

AI survey generator: instant, expert-made surveys

Design smarter questions for actionable feedback

Not all NPS surveys are created equal. Good questions spark honest, insightful responses—you’d be surprised how many SaaS teams miss this. For example:

  • Bad: “Are you happy with our product?”
    (Vague, leading, doesn’t tell you much.)

  • Good: “On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend us to a friend or colleague? What’s the biggest reason for your score?”
    (Direct, structured, prompts for actionable context.)

Specific’s AI survey editor helps avoid the usual pitfalls by turning unclear, biased, or generic questions into powerful ones that cut to the heart of the issue. Want to improve your own questions?

Quick tip: Always pair your NPS scale with an open-ended “why” follow-up to capture the reasoning behind the score. Better context means better decisions.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

Static forms miss nuance. With Specific’s AI, each reply is an opening for a real conversation—just like a skilled researcher would do. The survey automatically asks smart, contextual follow-up questions, so you get the full story in one smooth session, not after days of email ping-pong.

Here’s why this matters:

  • You save time by not needing to reach back out for clarification.

  • The respondent’s original context is fresh, leading to more complete and thoughtful feedback.

  • The interaction is seamless and feels human—not robotic and rigid.

Example of follow-up logic:

  • SaaS customer: “It’s okay. There are a few things I’d change.”

  • AI follow-up: “Thanks for your feedback. What’s one thing about our product you’d most like to see improved?”

Without smart follow-ups, you end up with replies like “it’s fine” or “maybe,” which go nowhere. Try generating an NPS survey with Specific and see these follow-up questions do their magic in real time.

These follow-ups turn the whole survey into a conversation—a true conversational survey.

How to deliver your SaaS customer NPS survey

Delivery matters almost as much as the questions themselves. Specific makes it simple to reach the right SaaS customers wherever they engage:

  • Sharable landing page surveys:
    Perfect for sending via email or in customer newsletters. Great for getting broad feedback from key customer list segments or users outside your product.

  • In-product surveys:
    Launch NPS surveys directly inside your SaaS app—right when people are active. Ideal for capturing contextual, in-the-moment feedback from actual product users as they experience your software.

For SaaS customer NPS, in-product delivery often yields the highest participation and most actionable insights, but landing page links are perfect when you want feedback from broader contacts. Pick what works for your workflow—or use both for a complete picture.

AI survey analysis: instant insights, zero spreadsheet wrangling

You shouldn’t have to spend days sifting through data. With Specific, AI-powered analysis instantly summarizes every response, finds key themes, and turns open-text into actionable insights. It automatically detects recurring topics and even lets you chat with AI about your survey results for deeper dives—all powered by our best-in-class AI survey analysis stack.
