Which blows away the reason a lot of people/teams/companies like SaaS. Because there is no negotiation, no sales requisitions, no long lead time while they come up with a quote. You see the price you pay the price you get the service, same as anyone else.

Every SaaS provider offers discounts based on length of commitment and volume of spend. Most will say look at AWS, but even there you have list prices and private/bulk pricing. Throw in EDPs, negotiated credits, savings plans, reservations, etc and you're nowhere near list prices.
