The "contact sales for pricing" is a plague, especially for companies that are have that specific Northern American attitude. While I hate it, I don't see it being much different from a lot of IT space.

I did a lot of research and product evaluations, was always honest about my intent and how much decision power I had. It worked out maybe once - most companies insisted on wasting time of multiple people just to ... Waste even more time and not give even unofficial rought estimate, or basic definitions from license. It kind of matters if it's paid for "every employee" or "every employee that uses the software". Apparently just for me.
