As of November 9, 2026, there is no current monthly price for Sora: OpenAI has discontinued the Sora web and app experiences, as well as the Sora API. That means you can’t currently buy a Sora monthly subscription or budget for new Sora API generations. This is not the same as Sora being free; the service is no longer available. OpenAI lists April 26, 2026, as the end date for the web and app experiences and September 24, 2026, as the API’s end date. (help.openai.com)
Was Sora included in a ChatGPT monthly plan?
Historically, OpenAI said Sora was included with ChatGPT Plus at no additional charge, with usage limits; its announcement also described higher usage for Pro users. That announcement dates to Sora’s earlier availability and does not describe a plan you can currently buy for Sora. (openai.com)
Older third-party articles report different subscription figures and dates—for example, one reported Plus at $20 per month and Pro starting at $100 per month, while another described $20 Plus and $200 Pro as historical prices. Those are dated reports, not current Sora prices. Don’t use them to decide what Sora costs now or assume either plan still includes Sora.
What about Sora’s production API cost?
There is no current Sora API monthly fee or usage estimate because OpenAI says the API was discontinued on September 24, 2026. OpenAI’s API deprecation documentation explains that an endpoint or model is no longer accessible once its shutdown date arrives. (help.openai.com)
Before discontinuation, third-party pricing reports described API billing by generated video duration, with rates varying by model and resolution. Those historical rates—and any calculations based on them—are not current quotes and can’t support a production budget today. OpenAI’s current API pricing page does not provide a current Sora rate card. (developers.openai.com)
Bottom line: If you’re asking what you would pay per month to use Sora now, the answer is that Sora is discontinued, so there is no current purchasable monthly Sora plan. Historical ChatGPT bundle prices and per-second API rates should not be treated as current pricing.
