The difference being that with 3rd party apps, you know that there's a vulnerability and when someone else has provided a fix.[1]

With your hand-rolled stuff with anything beyond very simple client-side code, I'd say that the forward provision for ongoing maintenance should be higher. As well as for the various levels of testing you put in before Go-Live.
