All most of reputed publishers have its own websites so you can check the price if you think subscription 

agency charging more amount than actual subscription. You cannot do anything if publishers charge

more amount on institutional subscription than personal subscription because it is their policy, however 

you can ask some discount from subscription agency(not for reputed publishers). I am working as a Librarian but from last three years i  have started subscription services for libraries with my friend and

we are giving some discount from our profit to institutions. suppose if a publisher offers us 15% discount on their journals then we give 5% discount to institutions. It is depends on publisher's discount to any agency. It means you can ask for discount to any subscription agency but it is depends on journal and their cost.

@Subhash,

my main question is how to assess publishers price that if they charging more,  you might have seen that some of reputed publishers did not disclose their prices on their site. and they refer to contact their representatives for institutional subscriptions.
