Sora 2 Is Closed: What It Was and What to Use Now (2026)

Sora 2 was an AI video generation model from OpenAI that created short videos from text prompts.

It was available in the Sora app and website and, for developers, through OpenAI's API.

OpenAI closed the app and website on 26 April 2026 and removed Sora 2 from its API on 24 September 2026, so the model can no longer be used anywhere.

The rest of this page is written in the past tense for that reason: it records what Sora 2 offered so that you can compare it with the tools you can use today.

While it ran, the API price of sora-2 was $0.10 per second, and sora-2-pro cost between $0.30 and $0.70 per second, so a 10-second clip on sora-2 cost about $1 through the API. Sora 2 generated clips, not finished videos: a voiceover, captions, music and editing still had to come from other tools.

Those prices are historical, because the API route has been removed. There is no current Sora 2 price and no way to buy access today.

• Cinematic marketing clips
• Brand storytelling shots
• Social media concept videos
• Creative concept visualization

Creators used Sora 2 mainly for short hero shots. Because it produced raw clips, most finished videos combined a Sora 2 clip with a separate voiceover, captions and editing. Video models that are available now can be used for the same kind of shot.

FluxNote does not offer Sora 2, but its AI Studio offers video models that are available today, including Veo 3.1, Kling, Seedance, Wan, Hailuo, PixVerse and Runway Gen-4. To make a clip:

1. 1Open FluxNote and choose the AI Studio.
2. 2Pick a video model from the model picker.
3. 3Write a detailed prompt that describes the subject, the action, the camera movement, the lighting and the style.
4. 4Choose the length and resolution. Standard videos export at 720p on the Free plan and 1080p on paid plans.
5. 5Generate, then add a voiceover, captions and music in the same studio. Videos have no watermark on any plan, including Free.

Your plan includes a monthly credit allowance, and credit use varies by model. The Free plan gives you 100 credits a month, about one finished video, with no credit card.

Rise is $20 a month, or $10 a month billed annually, for 2,500 credits (about 25 videos). Pro is $40 a month, or $20 billed annually, for 6,500 credits (about 65 videos).

Max is $100 a month, or $50 billed annually, for 18,000 credits (about 180 videos). Credits reset every month on your billing date and do not roll over.
