Frequently Asked Questions
What is a micro survey?
A micro survey is a short, contextual survey with 1-3 questions that appears within your product. They get 3-5x higher response rates than traditional surveys because they catch users in the moment and take under 30 seconds to complete.
When should I use a micro survey vs NPS?
Use micro surveys for specific, contextual feedback (feature satisfaction, task completion, preferences). Use NPS for measuring overall relationship health and loyalty trends over time.
How many micro surveys can I run simultaneously?
Run as many as needed, but limit each user to seeing one survey per session or per week. Use sampling to distribute different surveys across your user base without fatiguing any individual.
