The biggest factor is which iPhone you have. Newer Pro models use OLED displays that cost more to manufacture and more to replace. An iPhone 8 screen is a straightforward LCD replacement that costs less than half what an iPhone 14 Pro Max screen costs. If you are not sure which model you have, go to Settings then General then About and it will tell you.
The second factor is the type of screen used for the replacement. There are three main options: aftermarket screens, OEM pulls, and Apple genuine parts. Aftermarket screens are the most affordable and work well for everyday use. OEM pulls are original Apple screens taken from other iPhones. They show as genuine in your repair history and are a good middle ground. Apple genuine parts are the most expensive and are what you get at the Apple Store. For most people an aftermarket or OEM pull screen is the right choice.

Without AppleCare+ you are looking at $200 to $379 depending on your model. With AppleCare+ it drops to $29 but only if you are still covered. Apple also uses genuine parts and the repair shows as official in your phone's history. For most people though, paying $200 to $379 when a local shop charges $49 to $149 for the same visual result is hard to justify. Apple's own support page explains what genuine parts mean for your device if you want to read their stance.
For most people yes. Even an older iPhone 12 or 13 is worth repairing if the rest of the phone works well. A screen replacement at $79 to $119 is a fraction of what a new iPhone costs. The only time it is not worth it is if the phone has multiple issues: a damaged logic board, water damage, or a battery that also needs replacing. In that case the total repair cost starts to approach what you could get selling the phone for parts and putting the money toward a newer model. If you want to know what your iPhone is worth before deciding, you can sell your iPhone for cash at iMobile too.
