An exit survey collects feedback from users who are about to leave a website, app, or product flow. It helps teams understand why visitors didn't convert, what friction they experienced, and what improvements could reduce future drop-offs. These surveys typically ask short, direct questions to avoid creating extra friction. The goal is insight and empathy rather than trying to force a last-minute conversion.

For example, users exiting a checkout page may see a one-question survey asking why they didn’t complete payment. A SaaS platform might ask departing trial users what blocked them from upgrading. Responses reveal patterns like pricing confusion, unclear value, or missing features. These insights guide product, UX, and messaging enhancements.
