I can guarantee you SpaceX has a very extensive onboarding stage with their customers, but I love how they have a no-bullshit pricing guide. http://www.spacex.

  Well that just isn't true. Here's what they actually say: SpaceX offers open and fixed pricing that is the same for all customers, including a best price guarantee. Modest discounts are available for contractually committed, multi-launch purchases. Falcon 1 is the world’s lowest cost per flight to orbit of a production rocket. Falcon 1 Price: $10.9M Current plans are for payloads that would fly on Falcon 1 to be served by flights on the Falcon 9, utilizing excess capacity. This is a very cost-effective solution for small satellite launch needs. So.. if you commit to using SpaceX more than once, you can negotiate a discount. If you are prepared to use a different launch vehicle, you get a discount. They offer a best price guarantee, so you can play them off against another company. It's nice they have a list price, but to me that sounds exactly like the list price for Oracle: only suckers pay what is listed.
