I need some work done and many recommended Base Analytics so I thought to check their website for pricing and looks like they will only share their pricing if I contact them. I really hate such companies.

A lot of this seems to be consulting work and not actually software cost. How are they supposed to estimate the necessary number of hours if you haven’t told them what you need.
If you are serious about it, identify a few companies (no fewer than 5) and send them a Request for proposal (RfP) with what you are looking for and let them bid.
Also, even if they’re stupid enough to put up their tariff card for how much a Director/Manager/Associate billable hour is, they’re just going to get annoying questions about “Why does a manager need to do this rather than an associate?” as well as the “We think this will take you 7 hours - why are you quoting for 8?”.
Yeah, there is a legitimate complaint about “contact us” pricing, but not in this case. How do you price bespoke work without knowing what the work is?
Is it ten hours by a schmoe front end, or 2 years by the guy who invented Ethernet?
