Most exit popups convert at 2.8%. The good ones hit 19.6%.
The gap between an average exit popup and a great one is 7x – and it comes down to the offer, not the popup.
The average exit-intent popup converts at about 2.8%. The top 10% convert at 19.6%. Same trigger, same moment a visitor moves to leave – a 7x spread.
Wisepops looked at over a billion popup displays to find that gap, and the deciding factor isn't whether you run a popup. It's the offer behind it. Generic "here's 10% off" popups convert at 2–4%. Offers matched to what the visitor actually wants – a free-shipping threshold, the right lead magnet, or a personalized incentive – convert at 6–12%.
Why it matters: a single well-matched exit offer on your highest-traffic page can recover 10–20% of the sessions you're currently losing for free. It's a low-effort test with outsized upside, whether you sell products or capture leads.
