Pen-testing - pricing model

[Chris Stromblad <chris () fragzone se>]

Hi list,

Those of you who work with this professionally, what sort of pricing 
model do you use? How do you assess what should be charged for the test? 
Considering the fact that there are many types of pen-tests and all have 
different scope. I'm having a hard time figuring out if the prices that 
has been given to me are reasonable.

Say I were to give you one of the following scenarios, what would you 
charge (roughly):

1. "Black box with shades of gray", 2 /24 networks, not all devices are 
active. External scan.

2. Internal scan, only devices

3. Internal scan, procedures, physical security and devices

I know this question is somewhat difficult to answer, because there is 
no correct answer, but any advice is welcome.

Cheers,
Chris
