> Vendors that hide critical information and pricing behind a phone call are eating the risk of having their time wasted on negotiating deals that would never succeed, trading it for a chance to scam some clueless or loss-insensitive companies for some big money.

That or they have "customers" who are knowingly or unknowingly incentivized to have the vendor succeed.

People in marketing, often even those in higher levels, know Google analytics. They have demonstrated experience with it. They want to keep using it. They want their employees to keep using it. Google Analytics plus or whatever it is called iirc does not have a pricing page publicly available.

Why does Google not have pricing available publicly? Why do customers put up with Google? Is there any other reason?

PS for those curious, I think this is one of the limitations we hit with Google Analytics free
