For #2, someone once said there are two pricing models (was it Joel Spolsky? Don't recall..):

$0 - $999 - direct sale/download, pricing on website

$50,000+ - full sales team, no pricing on website

And essentially not much in between... this has perhaps changed a bit with SaaS, but this is still semi true.

Oh yes it was Joel Spolsky: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2005/11/18/price-as-signal/

That's like a restaurant, with no prices on the menu.

"If you have to ask..."

I would definitely like to never have to talk to another "people person," and no-calls-but-we'll-give-you-the-info-you-need policy sounds great.

You mean a restaurant that gets away with serving mediocre food for ridiculous prices, because the "no prices on the menu" gimmick generates enough status/prestige to compensate for any customer dissatisfaction? I.e. the restaurant equivalent of being famous for being famous.

		Wouldn't know. I generally avoid those joints. My tastes are a lot more plebeian. Unfortunately, I have to eat in one, every now and then, but I always walk away disappointed.

		Indeed. Given that I am the original russian translator of this article, shame on me for not remembering exactly which article it was.

I don’t think this is true anymore. Firebase, auth0, AWS, figma and many more SaaS obliterated this dichotomy
