You can’t sign up for Sora Pro now. OpenAI says its Sora web and app experiences were discontinued on April 26, 2026, and its Sora API was discontinued on September 24, 2026. As of November 9, 2026, there is no current Sora Pro signup route or Sora API to use for a production integration. (help.openai.com)
What to do instead
- Don’t upgrade or renew a ChatGPT plan just to get Sora Pro. A ChatGPT subscription does not restore access to a discontinued product.
- Don’t use old Sora API examples in a new production build. OpenAI lists the API as discontinued; historical setup instructions are not a supported integration path. (
help.openai.com) - For a video-generation workflow, choose a currently supported service and confirm its official API documentation, model availability, pricing, and lifecycle before building against it. Test it against your production requirements before migrating.
Why old Sora Pro instructions still appear
Launch-era instructions may say to subscribe to ChatGPT Pro and open Sora at sora.com. OpenAI did describe that route when Sora 2 launched in 2025, but its launch page now states that the Sora product is no longer available. Those old steps are historical—not a way to activate Sora Pro today. (openai.com)
How much does Sora Pro cost now?
There is no current Sora Pro price to quote, because OpenAI has discontinued the Sora experience and API. Old articles may list subscription or per-video prices, but those figures are not current purchase guidance. Don’t treat an old price, credit allowance, or ChatGPT plan as proof that Sora access is included.
Can developers use Sora Pro through a production API?
No. OpenAI’s Help Center states that the Sora API was discontinued on September 24, 2026. An earlier API endpoint, model name, or code sample should not be treated as an available production route. (help.openai.com)
If your application already depended on Sora, remove that dependency and evaluate a currently supported model or provider. OpenAI’s API deprecation documentation explains that retired models or endpoints are no longer accessible and describes checking model shutdown information; it does not announce a Sora replacement in the cited information.

If you need files from a previous Sora account
For people who already created content in Sora, OpenAI’s Help Center describes an export process at sora.chatgpt.com/sunset. This is for retrieving existing content, not for restoring Sora access. (help.openai.com)
