Where it sits in the set
Every figure below is counted from the 152 popups captured in the same pass, not from a benchmark report.
- No number is stated up front. 29 of 152 popups do this, trading a known discount for the pull of finding out.
- The field is behind a gate: a segmentation question comes first. 76 of 152 popups (50%) gate the field, so this is the majority behaviour at the top of the market, not the exception.
- Rendered by Custom / theme, 4th by volume, accounting for 14 of the 152 popups.
- Trigger is scroll, which 21 of 152 popups use.
- On desktop the card covers 50% of the viewport, larger than 73% of the desktop captures.
- The first field asks for email, as 104 of the 108 popups where a field was visible do.

This brand in The Handoff
Eight Sleep also has an ad and landing page teardown in The Handoff, which is where this brand list came from. The handoff there is rated {'rating': 'Break', 'note': 'The ad puts Try the Pod stress free over Rent as long as you like. Return anytime, above the Hub unit with its COOLING label and a folded cover beside it. The page opens on Pod 5 at $2,799, struck through from $2,999, under a row of four tabs where Pay now is already selected and Rent monthly sits beside it unclicked. The sticky bar at the base of the fold reads $3,098 includes Autopilot plan next to a Checkout button, so the first number a renter sees is higher than the one they were never quoted. A visitor who clicked because renting removed the price has to spot a tab to get back to the offer.'}. Read the Eight Sleep teardown.
How this was captured
Headless Chromium, US egress, fresh session, first visit. The page was loaded, scrolled, and on desktop given an exit-intent pass, with up to 32 seconds allowed for a timed popup. Nothing was typed into any form. Where a popup hid its field behind a yes/no or a quiz, a single click was allowed to reveal the next pane and no further, so "first field" means the first field a visitor actually sees. The same capture re-runs the week of Black Friday and this page gains a second column.
