Oh fuck yeah! So much of my research into new tools is just checking to see if they have a demo, documentation, and price.

When I'm looking for a new tool, I don't have the time to schedule a "quick" 20 minute call to do introductions and schedule a follow-up hour long meeting followed by a quote sent over in an email days later only to find out the price is so far outside the range there is no way it's ever going to happen!

I'm not some useless middle manager looking for any excuse to look busy; I don't have that kind of time to waste!

In a lot of cases, you only see the final price after signing up.
