The Zigpoll alternative that asks “why?”

Zigpoll tells you a customer found you on “Instagram.” BetterFeedback asks the follow-up — which post, and what actually convinced them. AI post-purchase surveys for Shopify that turn every order into a mini customer interview.

BetterFeedback AI post-purchase survey for Shopify

Zigpoll tells you what. Not why.

Zigpoll is a solid, established post-purchase survey app. But its surveys are static — multiple-choice and rating. If you run ads, that leaves a gap.

‘Instagram’ isn’t actionable.
You learn the channel, but not which post, creator, or message drove the sale — so you can’t decide what to scale.
One answer, then it stops.
Static forms can’t ask a follow-up. The moment a customer says something interesting, the survey is already over.
You design every question upfront.
You have to predict what to ask. Miss a question and the insight is gone for good.
