This is an example of an AI survey for SaaS customers about their free trial experience—see and try the example to understand your users better.

Creating effective SaaS customer free trial experience surveys is tough—responses often lack the context and depth needed to make meaningful improvements.

At Specific, our conversational survey tools solve that problem with AI-powered features that make feedback richer and research effortless. Every tool on this page is part of Specific’s product suite.

What is a conversational survey and why AI makes it better for SaaS customers

Everyone struggles with making SaaS customer free trial experience surveys easy to answer and genuinely useful. Most manual surveys feel tedious—leading to low completion rates, vague answers, and little actionable insight.

That’s where an AI survey builder and conversational survey experience can make all the difference. Instead of dumping a clunky form in front of your users, AI surveys engage SaaS customers in a natural, chat-like interaction. The questions flow conversationally and adapt in real time, resulting in feedback that feels like you’re having a coffee chat, not just ticking boxes.

Recent research shows just how much better this can be:

• Completion rates: AI surveys achieve 70%–90% completion, while old-school forms hover at 10%–30%—so you get more feedback. [1]

• Abandonment rates: Traditional surveys see up to 55% drop-off, but with conversational AI, most people stick around—abandonment drops to just 15%–25%. [2]

• Answer quality: Answers are more detailed, on-topic, and easier to act on with AI-powered chat surveys. [3]

Why use AI for SaaS customer surveys?

• Higher engagement—users enjoy the chat-like experience

• More in-depth, less vague responses (AI can ask clarifying questions)

• Easier to build with expert-level guidance from the AI survey maker

• Actionable data—the responses are both informative and context-rich

With Specific, you get best-in-class user experience for both creators (research, product, growth, and CX pros) and SaaS customers. Every step—question creation, follow-up, and analysis—feels smooth, engaging, and built for how people actually communicate today.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

Imagine running a SaaS customer survey about free trial experience and getting answers you can’t use. Most forms stop at the first reply, no matter how vague. Instead, Specific’s AI survey generator goes further—automatically crafting smart follow-up questions in real time, like a skilled interviewer.

This saves you hours of chasing down context by email or chat. Instead, every response is instantly clarified, uncovering the real stories behind your users’ answers. Here’s what it looks like when this works—and when it doesn’t:

• SaaS customer: “It was fine.”

• AI follow-up: “Could you tell me more about what worked well and what you wish had been different during your free trial?”

• SaaS customer: “I didn’t use all the features.”

• AI follow-up: “Which features did you try, and what stopped you from exploring more?”

Without these follow-ups, surveys often leave you guessing. Want to see what it really feels like? Try generating a survey yourself—Specific captures every important detail, automatically. Or learn more about this powerful feature on automatic AI follow-up questions.

These AI followups are what makes it a conversational survey—transforming static forms into real conversations for richer, more reliable feedback.

Easy editing, like magic

Editing your SaaS customer survey is as simple as chatting. With the AI survey editor, you just describe what you want—like changing a question or tweaking the tone—and the AI instantly updates your survey, drawing on expert best practices. There’s no tedious drag-and-drop or hunting through settings; you get the changes you need in seconds. The hard work is automatic, freeing you to focus on your goals. If you want a hands-on look, check out the AI survey editor or build a custom AI survey from scratch instead of using a template.

Survey delivery: send it anywhere SaaS customers are

With Specific, you can reach SaaS customers for free trial experience feedback in the right place, at the right time, using methods that suit your workflow:

• Sharable landing page surveys: Perfect for sending via email or support desk—just share the link and collect feedback from a broader audience. Great for onboarding deep dives or public beta feedback.

• In-product surveys: Embed directly into your SaaS app—catch users while they’re experiencing the free trial. Use it to understand real in-app behavior, catch pain points as they happen, and connect insights to specific user segments.

Both options are fast to launch and highly flexible—choose whichever (or both!) fits your use case best.
