For example, I charge $50 for a slide, and I've done 50 or so. Keep in mind that you will have to pay shipping both ways from anyone, and you may incur extra to have the sights drifted. Most Refinishers and Gunsmiths charge by the hour to strip a part (slide, frame, trigger housing, etc) in addition to the actual Cerakote charges. Ensure their quote includes measuring the sights before removal, and restoring to same place. Otherwise your POI may change.
Consider turnaround time. Mine is usually 1 week. Ship ONLY to an FFL. That way you can mail directly and have it mailed directly back to you. No FFL on your end needed. Don't fall for the "must ship from FFL" ploy.... Whatever you do, keep thinking Cerakote. It is the Mil-spec product the others aspire to......good luck!
