In the launching of a web app, which option is better?
Obligatory Sign-up to access allow you to have information of the users but also annoys anyone that already had signed-up to several web apps and social media platforms.
Free access will get people a hint of your product / service and maybe content will be shared or used, in the case of online transaction you can lure the user with the product.
What do you think?

Depends on the product completely.
If there's zero benefit to the user to have an account, then "Free Access" all the way. Gather your data in a different method
If there's any benefit for the user to have an account - STored history of browsed products, recommended articles based on things you've "liked", social interaction, valuable repeat contact etc, then have Sign Up.
Lots of web stores these days give free access to shopping and have "signup on checkout" and "one-time checkout" options. The majority of users choose signup as there's convenience in any potential return visit.
