Default How much for a BFR?

Did the content, ground/flight time requirement, frequency of its need, or standards of a BFR change when the name changed to FR?

As for the OP. In my area I charge $50/hr and $40 or reduced for those people I know very well. I tend to be flexible on prices because I have had students who I see are in need but have a dream to become licensed or stay current while chasing jobs, so it's not always firm. But I make sure I don't undercut the other guys in my area.

I have yet to come across someone who was ready after only one hour of ground & one of flight. Just getting through the FAA guide on it takes me a couple of hours when they haven't studied and I hate to rush. Once I did give someone a price of $160 for 2hr flight/2hr ground and then would charge $35 for additional instruction needed but it was a great big hassle since again, they were unprepared. I don't like to undercut the flight schools or other cfis in my area so I usually get their rates too.
