# Sora

> AI video product whose web app and API both closed

Sora has shut down. The official OpenAI help article opened on 2026-10-12 (the page is marked Updated: last month) states that the Sora web app and mobile app stopped serving on 2026-04-26 and the Sora API stopped on 2026-09-24; the data export entry point is sora.chatgpt.com/sunset, after which OpenAI will permanently delete data related to Sora usage; ChatGPT/Sora credits already purchased can still be used for Codex; refunds follow the ChatGPT subscription refund process. This entry writes no price for Sora because the pricing page was not opened. This is not a hands-on test.

The Sora web and mobile apps stopped serving on 2026-04-26 and the Sora API stopped on 2026-09-24; the data export entry point is sora.chatgpt.com/sunset.

## Core features

## When to pick it

Assets generated with Sora still need retrieving: use the export entry point sora.chatgpt.com/sunset given on the official discontinuation page.

## When to skip it

The web app and mobile app closed on 2026-04-26 and the API closed on 2026-09-24, so do not schedule new work on Sora; the official page says the related data is then permanently deleted. To keep a credits-based video supply where video and audio share one price sheet, the closer directory record is Runway; to keep using purchased credits, the official page states they still work for Codex, which is the OpenAI Codex record in this directory. This is not a ranked review.
