If they don't tell you the price upfront, it's too expensive.

On a related note, I hate it when people say "if you have to ask, you can't afford it".

If billionaires wrote out blank checks for products and services, they wouldn't stay rich long.

I just want price clarity, whether it's a $5/m SaaS subscription or a $40k upfront investment.

And if cost is very dependent on a lot of situational factors, at least give an approximate lower and upper bound.
