About this template
Onboarding Experience Survey is a ready-to-use survey template with 5 questions that takes about 2 minutes to answer. Find friction in your signup and first-run experience while it is fresh for new users.
SaaS templates cover the lifecycle a subscription business actually runs on: trial and onboarding feedback, product NPS, feature requests, and the cancellation survey. The cancellation survey is the highest-value one here and the one most often skipped — it is the only place a churned customer will still tell you the truth. Everything in this template is editable — treat the questions below as a starting point that already has the structure right, then cut what does not apply to you.
- Who should use it
- Product, growth and customer success teams at subscription businesses.
- When to use it
- At the end of onboarding, at trial expiry, quarterly for product NPS, and at cancellation.
What this template helps you measure
- Ease of the experience
- Speed and waiting times
- Support and issue resolution
Every question in this template
5 questions, with what each one is doing there. Change or remove any of them after you make your copy.
How easy was it to get started with our product?*
Star ratingWhy this matters: Gives you a baseline for how much effort the experience took — the number that makes the next round of answers mean something.
How long did it take to get your first result with the product?*
Single choice- Under 10 minutes
- Within the first day
- A few days
- Still figuring it out
Why this matters: Worth reviewing the options here against your own situation — a list that misses the real answer quietly pushes people into "other".
Did the onboarding guides and tooltips help you?*
Yes / NoWhy this matters: Forces a decision about how issues get resolved rather than a comfortable middle option, which is the point of asking it this way.
What was the most confusing part of getting started?
Single choice- Initial setup / configuration
- Understanding the interface
- Importing my data
- Inviting my team
- Nothing, it was smooth
Why this matters: Check the options against your own situation before you send it: a list missing the real answer pushes people into whichever one is closest.
What almost stopped you from continuing?
Long textWhy this matters: Unprompted wording surfaces problems you did not think to ask about — the ones no fixed-option question in this template would have caught.
