What drives the cost of door hardware replacement (knobs/hinges)
Number of doors
Doing a whole house in one visit is much cheaper per door than a single knob swap.
Old hardware fit
New hardware with a different backset or plate size means enlarging the bore or filling and repainting the old mortise.

Most homeowners in this range end up hiring out: the price is fixed before work starts, and the pro who does the job stands behind it.
