What you need to know

In 2025, audit pricing was the dominant cost component. Verification audits ran $1,500-$3,000 for low-risk service types. Certification audits ranged $4,000-$10,000 for most providers. Consultancy add-ons varied from $0 (DIY) through $999 (Provider Scale's done-for-you package) to $25,000+ for full-service incumbents like Provider Plus. Application fees remained free.

The trend

2025 was the calm before the storm — audit demand had not yet spiked. Pricing was stable year-on-year.
