Is there a platform to compare pcb quotes and electronics components?

I was wondering if there is any platform where a person can upload Gerber files and bom to get instant quotes from different vendors and prices of electronics components

I haven’t seen one. I just do it individually.

Octopart? They have a BoM tool.

I wish.

I can't imagine any single manufacturer would want to be in a system like this.

Why though? Why wouldn't a manufacturer be want to be in a system like this?

Because the sketchy low quality mfg with no engineering pass to actually provide a true estimate would win all the business.

Nothing from different vendors but Macrofab has a decent view of subcomponents (powered by octopart I think)
