Web application security testing pricing

Hello all,

Please forgive the cross-posting. I was wondering if anyone could
comment on how they have seen web application security analysis work
priced. By this, I do not mean the typical vulnerability assessment,
but an assessment of the ASP/SQL code - looking for SQL injections, for
example. I'm curious to hear from both consultants who offer the
services, and managers who have purchased it. Also, if this was largely
automated (using SPI or Sanctum for example) or if there was a lot of
hands-on analysis by a skilled tester.

It seems that the industry is somewhat inconsistent in this regard,
which makes it difficult for organizations to select the most
appropriate service for their needs. If I get sufficient responses, I
will try to summarize the comments.

Thanks,

Mark Lachniet
