Sora pricing is no longer a live buying path
OpenAI discontinued the Sora web and app experiences on April 26, 2026. The Sora API is scheduled to be discontinued on September 24, 2026.
The web and app experience has already shut down, and the API sunset is scheduled for September 24, 2026. This page stays noindex so legacy pricing does not appear as a current recommendation.
