In our case, it included all supplies needed.
That maybe why there seems to be a disparity in pricing quotes.
Perhaps some are labor cost only, others include everything for the job from texture/knockdown to Paint, which by itself can vary from $20- $140 a gallon depending. Its not hard to rack up $700-$800 in custom paint cost alone.

Thus far I'm only a few hundred $$ and a few weeks into my self paced (turtle speed) DIY complete interior repaint. I wasn't about to pay $3800 ($2.90 a sq ft.)
