Yes, in North America, that qualifies as being "expensive".

 

But, if the "full format" did successfully complete, there is nothing to recover -- every sector of the disk-drive has been overwritten. However, never underestimate any of those "three-letter" agencies (FBI, CIA, MI6, RCMP, CSIS, NCIS, etc.) for having tools that are not available to the public.

Yes, it is you who are speaking that we can recover data with this type of service
Reformat it!
according to the last information given by @collettd101  there is little hope, if the HDD, is no longer visible, it is probably dead
even if it works again,, it will probably only be for a short time, the data written on it will be lost again

But if he / she has friends in the FBI then !!
