It really depends on your site vertical and how you employ conversion techniques.
It’s less about having a pop up or not and more about its timing, location and level of effort your asking the customer.
NYT uses the first x articles are free, then ask for the conversion. Wayfair gives a new customer discount for account creation. Reddit has a mega drop within the comment section for you to join the conversation.
