UX & Product Survey Templates
Free UX survey templates — user experience, in-app micro-surveys, feature prioritization (Kano), and System Usability Scale (SUS). Embed anywhere.
UX survey templates measure user experience, usability (SUS), feature demand (Kano model), and in-app sentiment. SpaceForms offers 3 free, research-validated UX survey templates you can embed directly in your web or mobile app with unlimited responses — no credit card required.
UX and product survey templates turn user research into a continuous practice rather than a quarterly event. Whether you're validating a new feature, measuring usability, or collecting in-app sentiment, the three templates in this hub cover the core UX research use cases: in-app micro-surveys (1-3 questions triggered by user behavior), feature prioritization using the Kano model, and usability measurement via the validated System Usability Scale (SUS). All are free on SpaceForms with unlimited responses and embeddable directly in your product.

In-app micro-survey templates (user experience survey)
In-app micro-surveys are 1-3 question surveys triggered by specific user behavior — feature usage, task completion, error states, or tenure milestones. They capture sentiment in the exact moment of the experience, not a week later when memory has faded. Typical questions: 'How easy was this task?' (CES 1-7), 'Did you find what you were looking for?' (yes/no with follow-up), 'How likely are you to recommend us?' (transactional NPS). Response rates for in-app: 15-25%, 5-10x email.
System Usability Scale (SUS) templates
SUS is a 10-question validated usability instrument developed by John Brooke at Digital Equipment Corporation. It produces a single score from 0-100. Above 68 is considered average; above 80 is excellent usability. SUS correlates well with other usability measures and is so widely used that benchmarks exist for almost every software category. This template implements the standard SUS exactly — don't edit the wording since that invalidates benchmarking.
Feature prioritization with the Kano model
The Kano model categorizes features into 5 types: Must-Haves (basic expectations; absence kills satisfaction), Performance features (more is always better), Excitement features (delight when present but not expected), Indifferent (nobody cares), and Reverse (actively dislike). For each proposed feature, respondents answer a 'functional' and 'dysfunctional' version and the combination reveals the category. This template implements the full Kano question set and is the gold-standard way to prioritize features based on real user preference data.
UX survey form design best practices
UX surveys need UX too. Use one question per page (conversational), large tap targets on mobile, progress indicators only for surveys over 5 questions, no skip logic unless strictly necessary, and clear privacy language. Spaceforms templates are mobile-first and use single-question-per-page UX which typically lifts completion rates 20-40% vs multi-question layouts.
Best practices for ux & product surveys
Trigger on behavior, not time
Time-based triggers (show survey after 30 days) are low-signal. Behavior-based triggers (show after task completion, after feature usage, at 10th session) capture intent at the right moment. Use event-based triggers in your analytics or product telemetry.
Never ask more than 3 questions in-app
In-app surveys over 3 questions see completion rates drop below 30%. The entire value of in-app over email is speed and low friction — don't destroy it with a long survey. Use email for 15+ question surveys instead.
Use validated instruments where possible
SUS for usability, NPS for loyalty, CES for effort. These instruments have decades of research, external benchmarks, and proven reliability. Invented scales often measure nothing reproducibly.
Close the loop in-product
After a user completes a survey, show them what happens next: 'Thanks! Your feedback goes directly to our product team and we'll share what changes.' In-product feedback loops drive much higher engagement than anonymous survey completion.
Segment by user type
A single UX survey average across new users (confused), power users (jaded), and everyone in between is nearly useless. Always segment by tenure, plan tier, usage frequency, and role. The segments tell the real story.
Frequently asked questions
Are these UX survey templates free to embed in my app?
Yes — 100% free forever. Unlimited responses, customizable, and embeddable via iframe or JavaScript widget. Spaceforms UX templates are designed to embed directly in web and mobile apps with minimal code.
What is a System Usability Scale (SUS) survey?
SUS is a 10-question validated usability instrument that produces a single score from 0-100. Users rate 10 statements on a 5-point agreement scale; the score is calculated via a specific formula. SUS benchmarks: 68 = average, 72 = good, 80+ = excellent. It's the most widely used usability measure and benchmarks exist for most software categories.
How does the Kano model work?
Kano categorizes features into Must-Haves, Performance features, Excitement features, Indifferent, and Reverse by asking respondents how they'd feel if a feature were present AND how they'd feel if it were absent. The combined answers reveal the category. This data-driven prioritization beats 'stack rank by stakeholder opinion' in almost every case.
What's the best in-app micro-survey length?
1-3 questions maximum. The single-question NPS or CES embedded after task completion gets 15-25% response rates. Longer surveys drop to under 10%. For anything bigger, send an email survey instead — don't put it in-app.
When should I trigger in-app surveys?
Event-triggered: after feature use, after task completion, at tenure milestones (7 days, 30 days), after errors, or at key life-cycle points (first success). Avoid time-triggered (show on day 14) since it's decoupled from user behavior.
Can I customize the SUS template?
You can edit surrounding text (intro, thank-you message) but NOT the 10 core SUS questions — their wording is validated and allows cross-product benchmarking. Editing the questions invalidates the score and breaks comparability with SUS benchmarks.
How do I interpret SUS scores?
SUS score: 0-100 composite. Below 50: usability problem. 50-68: below average. 68: average. 68-80: good. 80+: excellent. For context, Google Search scores ~90, Microsoft Excel ~75, most enterprise software 55-65. Compare against your industry's benchmarks rather than an abstract 'good' score.
What response rate should I expect from UX surveys?
In-app micro-surveys: 15-25%. In-app modal after task completion: 20-35%. Email surveys to active users: 5-12%. Exit-intent surveys (when leaving): 2-5%. For reliable UX decisions, aim for 100+ responses per segment per feature evaluation.
