Checkbox surveys are ignored or get "other"
Customers in a cancel flow are already done. They click the closest box or skip it entirely. You end up with a pie chart of "other" and no idea what actually drove the decision.
Cancellation surveys that explain every cancel.
The cancel button is the highest-signal moment your product has, and most teams waste it on five checkboxes. Diaform runs a 60-90 second AI cancel conversation right there, gets the specific reason in the customer's own words, and sends it to your team the moment it completes.

Why checkbox cancellation surveys leak revenue
Customers cancel because of one fixable issue you never hear
A broken integration, a confusing billing page, a feature they didn't realize you shipped. None of that fits in a five-option list, so you keep losing the same saveable accounts every month.
The reason reaches CS weeks too late
Cancellation reasons sit in a spreadsheet until someone runs the monthly churn review. By then the account is long gone, and nobody on CS ever saw the one cancel they could have turned around.
What Diaform does differently at the cancel button
01
A real AI cancel conversation, not a form
The AI runs a 60-90 second conversation right at the cancel button. It asks why, probes vague answers, and gets to the specific reason behind the decision.
02
Webhooks into your retention workflow
Every completed cancel conversation can be sent by webhook to your CRM or CS tooling, so the reason and summary start your own retention process instead of waiting in a dashboard.
03
Sentiment on every cancel
Diaform attaches overall sentiment to every cancel conversation, so a calm "we got acquired" and a frustrated "it kept breaking" don't land in the same bucket.
04
Structured cancellation responses
Each completed cancellation conversation includes summaries, sentiment, answer confidence, optional notable quotes, and the transcript. Export responses to CSV for cohort-level analysis.
05
A Slack message for every cancel
When a cancel conversation completes, your CS channel gets the sentiment, key insights, and a link to the full response, so the team sees it the same day, not in next month's churn report.
06
Multilingual out of the box
The AI runs the cancel conversation in the customer's native language and summarizes back to English for your team, 30+ languages, no translators.
How a cancellation survey runs end to end
- 01
Wire the link into your cancel flow
Drop the Diaform link into your Stripe cancel page, your in-app billing cancel screen, your mobile subscription cancel, or your unsubscribe flow. One link, any platform.
- 02
AI runs the 60-90 second conversation
Each customer gets their own session. The AI asks the cancel question, probes when the answer is vague, and stays inside a tight time budget so it never feels like a chore.
- 03
Your team hears about it right away
Each completed conversation posts to Slack with sentiment and key insights, and can fire a webhook into your CRM or CS tool so your own retention workflow picks it up.
- 04
Review cancellation reasons across cohorts
Review response summaries and full transcripts, filter by sentiment or date, and export the conversation data to CSV for cohort-level analysis.
Where AI cancellation surveys fit
SaaS subscription cancellation
Replace the checkbox cancel survey on your billing page. Learn whether "too expensive" means price, perceived value, or a competitor anchor, with the summary in Slack the moment the conversation ends.
Mobile app subscription cancel
Hook into your in-app cancel flow before the App Store / Play Store hand-off. Capture the real reason while the user is still in your app instead of losing it to the platform cancel.
Streaming and media subscription cancel
Find out whether someone is leaving because of price, content gaps, or just a temporary break, and see which reasons dominate across the response set.
Marketplace seller cancellation
When a seller deactivates their account, run a quick conversation on what broke. Route policy frustrations to CS and platform-fit issues to product.
B2B annual contract cancellation
Send a targeted conversation link when a customer signals non-renewal. The completed response lands in your CS Slack channel before the contract ends, so the renewal team has a real shot at the save call.
Gym and membership cancellation
Replace the cancel form at the front desk or in the member portal. Capture the real reason for every cancel and see whether price, schedule, or relocation is driving the trend.
