Vraylar costs $1,300–$1,800/month without insurance. Here's how to save with coupons, the AbbVie Savings Card, patient assistance, and more in 2026.
Let's be upfront: Vraylar (Cariprazine) is one of the most expensive medications many patients will ever take. A 30-day supply costs between $1,300 and $1,800 without insurance. Even with insurance, copays can run $50 to $300 per month depending on your plan.
If you're feeling the financial pressure of paying for Vraylar, you're not alone — and you're not without options. In this guide, we'll cover every way to save money on Vraylar in 2026, from manufacturer savings cards to patient assistance programs to discount strategies that can dramatically reduce what you pay.
Here's the reality of Vraylar pricing in 2026:
These are cash prices — what you'd pay at the pharmacy counter with no insurance and no discount card. The price is roughly the same regardless of dose strength, which is typical for brand-name medications.
There is no generic version of Vraylar available as of 2026, and one isn't expected until at least 2029. That means there's no cheaper generic option to switch to. But there are several ways to bring the cost down significantly.
The AbbVie Savings Card is the single most impactful way to reduce your Vraylar costs if you have commercial (private) insurance.

How to enroll:
This is the first thing every commercially insured Vraylar patient should do. If you're currently paying more than $30/month, you may be leaving money on the table.
If you don't have insurance — or your insurance doesn't cover Vraylar adequately — AbbVie's Patient Assistance Foundation may provide the medication at no cost.

How to apply:
The application process typically takes 1–2 weeks. Plan ahead if possible — don't wait until you're completely out of medication to apply.
If you're paying cash (no insurance) and don't qualify for patient assistance, prescription discount cards can provide some savings — though the discounts on brand-name drugs like Vraylar are typically more modest than on generics.
GoodRx may offer Vraylar prices in the range of $1,100–$1,500 depending on the pharmacy. While that's still expensive, it can save $200–$400 compared to the full retail price. Check goodrx.com/vraylar for current pricing.
SingleCare sometimes offers comparable or slightly different pricing than GoodRx. It's worth comparing both. Check singlecare.com/prescription/vraylar.
Additional options include RxSaver, BuzzRx, Optum Perks, and ScriptSave WellRx. Prices vary by pharmacy, so it's worth checking multiple cards to find the lowest price at a pharmacy near you.
Important note: Discount cards cannot be combined with insurance. You use one or the other at the pharmacy counter. For brand-name drugs like Vraylar, insurance + the AbbVie Savings Card is almost always the better deal.
If your insurance covers Vraylar, using your plan's mail-order pharmacy can sometimes reduce costs:
Contact your insurance company's pharmacy benefits department to see if mail-order is an option and what your copay would be.
Your prescriber may have Vraylar samples from AbbVie. These can help bridge a gap while you're waiting for insurance approval, PA processing, or patient assistance enrollment. Don't hesitate to ask.
Some states offer their own prescription assistance programs that can help with brand-name medication costs. These vary by state and are often aimed at seniors or low-income residents. Check with your state's health department or visit medicare.gov for a list.
NeedyMeds and RxAssist are nonprofit databases that list patient assistance programs, discount cards, and other cost-reduction resources for specific medications. Both list Vraylar programs.
If cost is truly prohibitive and assistance programs don't bridge the gap, discuss alternative medications with your doctor. Generic options like Aripiprazole ($10–$50/month) or Lurasidone ($30–$80/month) treat many of the same conditions at a fraction of the cost.
Here's a summary of what Vraylar might cost you depending on your situation:
If you're on Medicare, the AbbVie Savings Card is not available to you (federal law prohibits manufacturer copay cards for government-insured patients). However, you have other options:
Talk to your Medicare plan or a benefits counselor for personalized guidance.
Vraylar is expensive, but the right savings strategy can make it affordable — or even free. The key is knowing what programs exist and taking action:
Don't let cost force you to stop a medication that's working. There's almost always a path to making Vraylar affordable — you just need to know where to look.
