Create your survey

This article will give you tips on how to analyze responses from a Canceled Subscribers survey about Pricing And Value Perception using AI tools. If you're looking to understand why people leave and what they really think about your pricing strategy, you're in the right place.

Choosing the right tools for survey analysis

The best approach for analyzing your survey data depends on the format and structure of your responses. Here’s a quick overview of what works best for different types of data:

  • Quantitative data: If your survey includes questions like "How likely are you to recommend us?" or "Did you think the product was worth the price?", you’re dealing with numbers that are easy to count. For this, tools like Excel or Google Sheets work perfectly and let you chart things out fast.

  • Qualitative data: If you have free-form answers or long-winded rants (or glowing endorsements), reading every word is neither fun nor effective when you have more than a handful of responses. For these open-ended survey questions and follow-ups, you need AI-powered analysis to make sense of the patterns hiding in the text.

There are two approaches for tooling when dealing with qualitative responses:

ChatGPT or similar GPT tool for AI analysis

You can copy your exported responses into a tool like ChatGPT or Claude and chat directly with the AI about your data.

This is a low-friction way to start, especially if you have a CSV or Google Sheet handy. But handling data this way comes with its own challenges: sometimes you hit context limits, it's hard to filter for subgroups, and the conversation is detached from your actual survey platform.

This approach gets messy fast if you have a lot of responses or need to dive deep into specifics.

All-in-one tool like Specific

Specific is built ground-up for surveys and qualitative data. It collects and automatically analyzes responses for you. When people fill out a survey, AI asks follow-up questions in real time—something traditional survey tools never do. This means you get richer, more specific data every time you run a canceled subscribers survey.

The AI-powered analysis in Specific instantly summarizes responses, highlights patterns, and distills actionable insights—so you never have to open a spreadsheet or read 200 free-text comments manually.

You also get the convenience of chatting with an AI about your results, just like ChatGPT, but with extra features to manage your data context. If you're curious about this workflow, check out AI survey response analysis in Specific. If you want to see how these surveys come together, the how-to guide for building canceled subscribers pricing surveys has step-by-step walkthroughs.

Useful prompts that you can use for Canceled Subscribers survey analysis

AI (whether it’s ChatGPT or built-in to a tool like Specific) works best when you ask focused questions. I’ve tested these prompts for analyzing canceled subscribers surveys about pricing and value; here’s what actually works:

Prompt for core ideas: This prompt is a staple if you want to see the most important topics from a pile of responses. It’s the default in Specific, but it also works in ChatGPT.

Your task is to extract core ideas in bold (4-5 words per core idea) + up to 2 sentence long explainer.

Output requirements:

- Avoid unnecessary details

- Specify how many people mentioned specific core idea (use numbers, not words), most mentioned on top

- no suggestions

- no indications

Example output:

1. **Core idea text:** explainer text

2. **Core idea text:** explainer text

3. **Core idea text:** explainer text

AI always performs better if you give it more context about your survey, the situation, or your goals. For example, you can add:

We ran this survey with recently canceled subscribers to understand what they think about our pricing and value proposition. Focus on reasons related to price sensitivity, perceived value, and any suggestions for improvement. Ignore unrelated feedback.

Dive deeper on specific themes by prompting the AI: "Tell me more about XYZ (core idea)".

Topic validation prompts help you check for specific issues or feedback. Try: "Did anyone talk about pricing being unfair?" or "Did anyone talk about switching to competitors? Include quotes."

Persona prompts can highlight trends by user type: "Based on the survey responses, identify and describe a list of distinct personas—similar to how 'personas' are used in product management. For each persona, summarize key characteristics, motivations, goals, and any quotes or patterns."

Pain points and challenges: "Analyze the survey responses and list the most common pain points, frustrations, or challenges mentioned around pricing and value. Summarize and note any frequency or patterns."

Motivations & drivers: "From the survey conversations, extract the primary motivations or reasons participants mention for their cancellation or value perception. Group similar motivations together with evidence from the data."

Sentiment analysis: "Assess the overall sentiment about pricing and value in these responses (positive, negative, neutral). Highlight key phrases or feedback per sentiment."

Suggestions & ideas: "Identify and list all suggestions, ideas, or requests provided regarding pricing or value from canceled subscribers."

Want shortcuts? You can use these prompts directly in tools like Specific or in ChatGPT. If you want a pre-built set, try the AI survey generator for canceled subscribers on pricing and value perception—it comes with question templates designed for this use case.

How Specific analyzes qualitative data, question by question

Once responses are collected, Specific adapts its analysis style to the type of question you asked—saving you time and surfacing patterns instantly.

  • Open-ended questions (with or without follow-ups): Specific generates a summary for all responses, combining main comments and follow-ups to provide a holistic view of common themes. If responses are organized by topic or tag, you get summaries per group for deeper granularity.

  • Choice questions with follow-ups: For each selectable answer, you get a separate summary of all follow-up responses for that choice. This easily reveals what detractors, passives, or switchers specifically think about pricing or value.

  • NPS questions: Responses are automatically sorted into detractors, passives, and promoters. Each group gets its own summary of feedback—making it clear if price sensitivity is concentrated among one segment or spread widely.

If you want to do the same thing in ChatGPT, you'll need to organize your data into segments (for example, by NPS group or answer choice) and run analyses per group. It works, but it’s more manual.

Overcoming AI context limitations when analyzing large sets of responses

If you have a big pile of survey responses, you’ll quickly hit the "context limit" with AI tools—the maximum amount of content the AI can process at once.

  • Filtering responses by relevance: You can choose to send only those conversations (responses) where users replied to certain questions or selected certain choices. This keeps the analysis focused and means the AI won't miss your key segments.

  • Cropping questions for AI analysis: Pick just the specific questions (for example, "Why did you cancel?" or "How would you describe our pricing?") to send to the AI instead of the full conversation. This trims the input, so more responses fit within the context window.

In Specific, these features are built in—helpful when you’re working with hundreds of responses. If you’re using other tools, try to filter and segment your spreadsheet or CSV before importing into your AI chat.

If you want to see a practical example of using dynamic AI follow-up questions to get richer insights, the AI-powered survey follow-ups feature breaks it down in detail.

Collaborative features for analyzing Canceled Subscribers survey responses

Analyzing results from a Canceled Subscribers survey about Pricing And Value Perception is rarely a solo mission. Getting perspectives from CX, product, or even finance means you need a workflow that actually supports team collaboration—without spaghetti threads or dozens of exported files flying around.

Chat-based analysis for teams: In Specific, you can set up one or multiple analysis chats and filter them by question, response, or subgroup. Each thread can be owned by a different team member—or a whole department—so everyone keeps their lens without stepping on each other’s toes.

Clear ownership and visibility: Each analysis chat clearly shows who started it, along with an avatar for every message. Collaborators see who asked what and what insights the AI pulled for them—no more missing context or wondering which analysis belongs to who.

Filters for deep dives: Teams can spin up separate chats to analyze just detractors’ feedback on pricing or zero in on ex-subscribers who used premium features. Everyone can leave their own findings and pivot quickly when new questions pop up.

All these features support fast, context-rich, and collaborative exploration. If you want to design your own survey with this in mind, play around with the AI survey generator for custom survey topics.
