As of November 9, 2026, you can’t get or start using OpenAI Sora: OpenAI says its web and app experiences were discontinued on April 26, 2026, and its Sora API was discontinued on September 24, 2026. That means there is no current Sora signup route or supported OpenAI production API to begin using. (help.openai.com)
Can I get Sora with a ChatGPT subscription?
No—not now. A ChatGPT plan does not restore access to a discontinued Sora service. Older third-party articles may list Plus or Pro prices as a way to access Sora, but those claims are outdated for current access; don’t buy a subscription expecting it to unlock Sora.
Is there a Sora API for production?
No. OpenAI says the Sora API was discontinued on September 24, 2026. Consumer access and API access are separate questions, but both official Sora routes have ended. Don’t treat a third-party gateway or an old API example as a currently supported OpenAI production API. (help.openai.com)
How can I export videos I already made in Sora?
If you previously created Sora content, OpenAI’s Help Center says to visit sora.chatgpt.com/sunset, select Export, and wait for an email when the export is ready. OpenAI recommends exporting as soon as possible; it says associated data may be permanently deleted after any final export window ends. (help.openai.com)
Bottom line: You can’t sign up for OpenAI Sora or start a new Sora API integration as of November 9, 2026. If you already have Sora creations, use the official export route promptly.
