Your "1 page to show a database of stuff with filters to see specific stuff" is really vague.
That "1 page" may take several carefully crafted admin pages in order for you to be able to edit/manipulate the items that appear in the DB.
Subscriptions with recurring payments are also a pain. Mostly due to making it easy for people to unsubscribe when they want to leave. I've had to look into it before, but never implemented a full solution.
On the whole, I'd say that $4-6K number is low. The best way to get a good quote is to really outline those technical specs/requirements, and also be a little flexible about what exactly you need.
Also as mentioned above, exactly how detailed these user profiles are will affect the overall price.
Then on top of that you're going to have costs for web hosting, SSL certs, payment gateways, regular maintenance, email blasters to promote your site, etc... so be sure to budget those things in.
Good luck!
