Typeform creates great-looking forms, but customer feedback requires more than design. Customer Echo combines beautiful survey experiences with AI-powered analysis, real-time alerts, and closed-loop feedback workflows.
Why Switch from Typeform
Typeform is a general-purpose form builder known for its conversational interface, but it falls short for dedicated customer feedback programs. Here is why teams are switching:
- No built-in analytics: Typeform collects responses but does not analyze sentiment, detect themes, or surface trends
- No real-time alerts: When a customer leaves negative feedback, there is no instant notification to your team
- Response limits: Typeform plans have monthly response caps that get expensive as you scale feedback collection
- Not built for CX: Designed as a general form builder, not a customer experience platform
- No closed-loop workflows: No way to track whether negative feedback was resolved
Forms vs. Feedback Intelligence
Typeform ends when the form is submitted. Customer Echo is where the real work begins: analyzing feedback, alerting your team, tracking resolution, and driving measurable improvements in customer satisfaction.
What You Gain with Customer Echo
Customer Echo takes everything you love about conversational surveys and adds the intelligence layer Typeform lacks:
AI-Powered Feedback Analysis
- Automatic sentiment detection: Every response is analyzed for positive, negative, or neutral sentiment
- Theme extraction: AI identifies what customers are talking about without manual tagging
- Trend monitoring: See how feedback changes over time with automatic trend detection
Real-Time Alert System
- Instant notifications: Know immediately when a customer is unhappy
- Custom routing: Send alerts to the right team member based on location, topic, or severity
- Resolution tracking: Track whether issues are addressed and closed
Purpose-Built for Customer Feedback
- NPS, CSAT, CES: Built-in customer experience metrics with benchmarking
- Multi-location support: Compare feedback across branches and locations
- QR code collection: Physical touchpoints for in-store feedback that Typeform cannot do natively
- Kiosk mode: Dedicated feedback stations for high-traffic environments
No Response Limits
- Unlimited responses: No monthly caps that throttle your feedback program
- Predictable pricing: Know what you will pay without worrying about overage charges
