As someone else posted, SpaceX lists their prices to launch things into space. Your software situations are more complex?

That doesn’t seem like a logical inference to me.

A house construction contractor doesn't have a price list for the sake of obscuring prices, nor because house construction is more complex than space flight.

It's because houses are custom and thus prices are too variable to list in any meaningful way.

For a SaaS product with significant custom integration work, it seems reasonable that prices might also vary in the same way.

There are many companies that charge “x” per weight of “y” to go from “a” to “b”. How they get “y” from “a” to “b” is complex, but the actual pricing is quite simple compared to bespoke business solutions. It’s just freight.
