Survey template: Canceled Subscribers survey about reasons for cancellation

Understanding why people cancel is crucial if you want to reduce churn. If you're looking to get actionable feedback, use and try this template to make it effortless for both you and your canceled subscribers—Specific’s AI survey template gets you there, fast.

What is a conversational survey and why AI makes it better for canceled subscribers

Most of us know that chasing cancellation reasons with traditional surveys can feel impersonal, tedious, and—let's be honest—rarely leads to high completion rates or deep insights. AI-driven conversational surveys flip this script by making response experiences feel more like talking to a human than filling out a long, one-way form.

A conversational AI survey template doesn’t just ask a few static questions; it adapts as it goes, responding to each subscriber in real time. This makes the experience more engaging—for both creator and respondent. In fact, conversational surveys have been shown to lift completion rates by 40% compared to standard formats—crucial when so many canceled subscribers might otherwise tune out [2].

Why use AI for canceled subscribers surveys?

AI-driven survey templates are game-changers for exit interviews. When you engage recently canceled subscribers with Specific’s conversational surveys, you not only increase the odds they’ll respond—but also ensure those responses actually have context and meaning. The result? Richer reasons for cancellation, which help teams tackle the real churn drivers right away.

Specific offers what we think is the best-in-class experience for both survey creators and respondents. Conversations flow naturally, respondents feel heard, and you get the kind of candid feedback that’s hard to surface elsewhere.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

Nothing kills feedback quality faster than vague one-liners. Specific’s AI surveys are built to probe below the surface, asking spot-on follow-ups based on what your ex-subscriber just said—just like a skilled interviewer. No more chasing down lost context with awkward emails. Thanks to the AI, each response gets smarter, saving you hours and leading to truly actionable insights [3]. That’s what sets conversational AI surveys apart from static forms.

• Canceled subscriber: "It was too expensive."

• AI follow-up: "Could you help us understand what price point would have felt fair, or was there a feature that didn’t justify the price?"

• Canceled subscriber: "I just didn’t use it enough."

• AI follow-up: "Was there something missing that would have made you use it more often?"

If you skip follow-ups, you’re left with responses that could mean ten different things—now, the AI does the deep digging for you. Want to see how sharply these follow-ups make a difference? Try launching a survey or see more about how AI-powered follow-ups work.

Follow-ups turn the survey into a conversation, not an interrogation. It’s a chat, and that makes all the difference for canceled subscribers.

How you can deliver your survey

Getting reasons for cancellation from closed accounts means you need the right delivery. Specific lets you:

• Sharable landing page surveys: Create a web link for your conversational survey and send it via email, SMS, or wherever you contact canceled subscribers. Ideal for exit surveys and large batches.

• In-product surveys: Embed the AI survey widget in your app or dashboard—you can even show it automatically as memberships expire, catching users right as they churn. Fantastic for proactive churn analysis with SaaS or subscription software.

For most reasons for cancellation research, survey links work great for post-cancellation outreach, while in-product delivery is powerful if you want to catch feedback the moment a user decides to cancel.
