What moves the price
- How much personal or payment data the app holds, because that decides how deep the security work goes.
- Whether the code can be fixed in place or the core has to be rebuilt.
- Payments, user roles and third-party integrations, which take most of the testing time.
- Whether you need hosting, monitoring and support after the fix.
