These costs definitely seem high. As a reference point - to get through the Salesforce AppExchange security review process, believe the cost is $2,700. It’s an extremely rigorous security testing as one might imagine with corporate CRM data.

Is that ran by SalesForce? If so, could they be subsidising it?

Yes AppExchange is run by Salesforce and they likely do subsidize the security review. They also take a percentage of revenues from direct AppExchange installs(believe 15-25%) after listing. SF wants third party devs building out functionality and the ecosystem. Google seems to be taking a different approach...
