How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Our template dedicates multiple opinion-scale items specifically to recommendation relevance, timeliness, trust/accuracy, and content diversity (including a near-duplicate detection question), rather than treating recommendations as one line item in a general satisfaction survey
- It includes two ranking questions so product teams can quantify which recommendation controls and which content types users actually want prioritized
- It includes an adaptive AI follow-up interview that probes deeper into a respondent's specific recommendation experience based on their prior answers, plus an open-text question capturing one concrete improvement suggestion
- Responses feed into an automated report with per-response quality scoring, and QuestionPunk's prompts are transparent, unlike static form tools
QuestionPro
Product Satisfaction Survey Questions + Sample TemplateThis is a general product satisfaction survey template rather than one built specifically around recommendation relevance, control, or content diversity. It's a fielding-ready static template from an established survey platform, useful as a broad satisfaction instrument but not tailored to personalization-engine UX research. Teams would need to heavily customize it to get recommendation-specific insight.
What it does well
- Comes from a mature, full-featured survey platform with a large template library
- Provides a ready sample question set that teams can deploy quickly
- Likely supports standard survey logic and reporting common to QuestionPro's toolset
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up interviewing — it's a fixed, static question set
- Not focused on recommendation-specific constructs like content diversity, control, or trust in personalization
- No automated per-response quality scoring or transparent AI prompt methodology
