Sora Pricing Plans: Current Consumer and API Status

As of November 10, 2026, OpenAI’s Sora app, web experience, and API have been discontinued. Here’s what that means for current Sora pricing, historical plan claims, and budgeting.

Illustration for Sora pricing plans

As of November 10, 2026, there is no Sora consumer plan or production Sora API to purchase from OpenAI. OpenAI says the Sora web and app experiences were discontinued on April 26, 2026, and the Sora API was discontinued on September 24, 2026. That means there is no current Sora subscription price or API rate to use for a new budget. (help.openai.com)

Consumer plans: no current Sora subscription

You can’t currently buy access to Sora through a consumer plan. OpenAI’s discontinuation notice covers both the app and web experience; the end of the API is a separate change, with a later date. (help.openai.com)

Historical context—not a current offer: OpenAI’s December 2024 announcement said Sora Turbo was included in ChatGPT Plus at no additional cost, with up to 50 videos at 480p or fewer at 720p per month. It described Pro as offering 10 times more usage, higher resolutions, and longer durations. Those were terms for the earlier Sora Turbo experience, not plans you can buy for Sora today. (openai.com)

A third-party article published October 6, 2025, reported ChatGPT Plus at $20/month and ChatGPT Pro at $200/month in connection with Sora 2 access. Those were reported ChatGPT subscription prices—not a separate Sora price—and they do not restore Sora access after discontinuation. (help.openai.com)

Production API: no current Sora API price

OpenAI’s API deprecation documentation lists the Sora API’s shutdown date as September 24, 2026; its Help Center confirms that the API was discontinued on that date. So you should not budget for a new production integration using an OpenAI Sora API: there is no current Sora API billing unit or rate to quote. A ChatGPT subscription price is not an API price.

What to budget for your project

  • Want to generate videos with Sora now? There is no current OpenAI Sora plan to buy.
  • Planning a production integration? There is no current OpenAI Sora API price for a new workload estimate.
  • Already paying for another ChatGPT plan? Don’t assume it includes Sora access; OpenAI says the Sora web and app experiences have ended. (help.openai.com)

Older credit-based estimates are not reliable current budgets. The 2025 third-party article itself said Sora 2’s credit system was not clearly specified, so its example credit rates and monthly allowances do not establish what Sora cost—or what a current alternative will cost.

Bottom line: Current Sora consumer price: no plan available. Current OpenAI Sora API price: none; the API was discontinued. If you need video generation, assess another currently available service separately rather than treating historical Sora subscription figures as a price quote. (help.openai.com)
