I always assumed "call us" pricing was to give a salesperson the opportunity to negotiate the best deal for the seller.

I always read "call us" as "tell us how thick your wallet is".

For early stage products, it's often more like "we have no idea how to price this and we don't want to publish it yet".

You can basically come into those calls and name your price or walk away.

I would think they want to hear what your device sells for. If you're going to charge me $1 per unit on something that costs only three figures, I'm telling you to take a hike.

Qt hasn't quite learned this. Their embedded pricing is absurd.
