Is $2,000 to spray rim joists with closed cell foam a fair price?

Project Details

I'm seeking quotes to have the rim joists of my crawl space professionally sprayed with closed cell foam. I've received quotes from two seemingly reputable companies. My only concern is the large difference in price between the two quotes I've received thus far ($2000 vs $800). I understand different companies have different costs, overhead, etc, but such a large difference is kind of unsettling. I'm guessing it probably comes down to application thickness. Company B, the more affordable option, specifies 2” thickness, company A doesn’t specify. I live in climate zone 6a.

Spray 5" open cell foam on rim joists

This quote is for spray foam insulation for the rim joists of my cantilevered house. - Rim Joist Depth: 3 feet - Total Length: 176 linear feet - Material: 5 inches of open cell foam - Contractor Recommendation: Open cell foam is suggested due to the deep cavities (over 10-12 inches) to prevent production issues that can arise from building closed cell foam too thick in such depths.
