What’s the average cost of Lexapro (escitalopram)?
Lexapro prices vary a lot by (1) whether you’re paying cash or using insurance, (2) the tablet strength (commonly 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg), (3) whether you’re buying brand-name Lexapro or the generic escitalopram, and (4) the pharmacy and quantity (30-day vs 90-day supply). Because of those differences, there isn’t one single “average” number that’s accurate for everyone.
What’s cheaper: brand-name Lexapro or generic escitalopram?
In most cases, generic escitalopram is much cheaper than brand-name Lexapro. If you’re trying to estimate your likely cost, searching your exact dosage and “30-day supply” price at your pharmacy (or checking your insurance copay) usually gives the most realistic figure.

If you tell me your dosage, I can narrow the estimate
If you share:
- your strength (5 mg / 10 mg / 20 mg),
- how many tablets (30-day or 90-day),
- your country (and whether it’s US cash pay vs insurance),
I can help you pinpoint the most relevant “average” price range for that situation.
