Tips for running NPS surveys

1

Keep NPS surveys short - the core question plus 1–2 follow-ups is enough.

2

Show different follow-up questions to promoters vs detractors using conditional logic.

3

Always include an open-text follow-up so you understand the "why" behind the score.

4

Segment results by plan, role, or cohort to find patterns.

5

Send at the right moment - after a user hits a key milestone, not on day 1.

Frequently asked questions

What is an NPS survey question?

The core NPS question asks users to rate how likely they are to recommend your product on a scale of 0–10. Responses are grouped into Promoters (9–10), Passives (7–8), and Detractors (0–6). NPS = % Promoters minus % Detractors.

How many questions should an NPS survey have?

The standard NPS survey has 1–3 questions: the 0–10 rating question, one follow-up asking why, and optionally a contextual question. Adding more questions reduces completion rates.

What is a good NPS score for SaaS?

Any score above 0 means more promoters than detractors. Above 30 is good, above 50 is excellent, above 70 is world-class. SaaS benchmarks vary by segment but 30–50 is a solid target.

How often should I run NPS surveys?

Most SaaS companies run NPS quarterly or after key events like onboarding completion, plan upgrades, or support interactions. Avoid surveying the same user more than once every 90 days.
