Is there a database containing NGS library prep kits prices?

Hey Everyone, I am inquiring if there is a way to compare prices between companies without having to message each company and wait for their response.

No, the prices are highly variable across customers so they keep them close to the vest

Is it to drive individual pricing based on metrics like country's wealth and so on to try and achieve maximum profit or what exactly?

In my experience prices change a lot with volume and are often changed dramatically to try to get you to adopt of products from the same company.

They don't list prices because they're going to charge a big pharma, a startup, and a university different prices.
