Does the motor itself work still, I mean can you hear the motor spinning when you hit the button only the glass doesn't move?
If so you can fix it cheap, removing it for the repair is fairly simple. Worse part is carefully getting the door panel off without breaking the retainer slots on the backside, myself I use a flat bar.

There are three 5/16" bolts you have to remove to separate the motor from the regulator.
You'll only be able to see/get a socket to one of them as shipped from the factory. The other two you'll need to drill access holes through the inner metal door skin large enough so you can get a socket on them. Some doors are marked for drilling, dimpled where you drill to access those bolts, some are not so its "best estimate" line of sight and go for it.
Remove those three bolts, unplug the wire harness and pull the motor out of the door. Reverse to install replacement motor, the holes drilled to access the bolts are covered by the inner door panel so no harm done.

On my truck you will have to drill 2 Holes to reach the bolts, there are little dents where you drill the holes, and then you can remove your motor, and replace it, i replace my driver side.
