Slightly OT, but SaaS vendors without clear upfront pricing are also a no go for me. Oddly, cleanshelf (which got recommended by the OP, perhaps affiliated with?) doesn’t have a pricing page I could find...

Thanks for the feedback. At Cleanshelf we primarily focus on mid-size companies (100 to 1000 employees) and there it's important to understand the business needs before we can discuss pricing. I hope you understand.

I read that as "it's important to understand how much we can gouge you for".

Sorry, I wouldn't even consider using a service that isn't up-front about pricing.

Is that a nice way of saying "we need to figure out how much money we can get from them"?

just to clarify, Liip is not affiliated, we don't get any kick-backs and generally we do not accept kick-backs anyway (if we do get a kick-back for one of our customers, we hand that kick-back to the customer), specifically because we don't want to recommend something simply to get direct financial gain.
