How to pay less

Paint several rooms at once. Per-room prices drop when the crew is already set up.
Stick with similar colors. A big color change can need an extra coat, which adds labor and paint.
Do the easy prep yourself, like moving furniture and removing outlet covers, if the painter agrees.
Compare at least two or three quotes for the same scope. Pros on Job Hound never pay for leads, so no lead fee is built into their price.
