Sora

OpenAI's video model with synchronized audio and physics-aware scenes

4.5
AI Video Free plan Paid from Free app / ChatGPT Plus $20 / Pro from $100 Sora app (iOS, Android), Web App, API

Sora 2 is OpenAI’s text-to-video model, generating realistic clips with synchronized dialogue and sound effects – a genuine step up in world simulation. Since the Sora 2 launch it has been open to everyone through the social Sora app, where free users generate within daily compute limits and every clip is remixable.

ChatGPT Plus at $20 per month adds meaningful headroom and higher quality, while Sora 2 Pro – the watermark-free, highest-fidelity tier – comes bundled with ChatGPT Pro plans from $100 per month. The API bills per second (about $0.10 per second for 720p standard), which works out to roughly $1 for a 10-second clip.

Key Features

  • Text-to-video with synced audio and dialogue
  • Physics-aware scene simulation
  • Cameos (insert yourself or a consented person)
  • Storyboard editor for multi-shot control
  • Remix feed in the social Sora app
  • API access billed per second

Pros

  • Strongest prompt adherence and physics of any video model
  • Usable free tier inside the Sora app
  • Pro quality included with ChatGPT Pro instead of a separate fee

Cons

  • Free generations are heavily rate-limited
  • Best quality locked behind the $100 Pro tier
  • API costs scale quickly for long clips
