Frequently Asked Questions
Did Sora get removed?
Yes. OpenAI announced the shutdown on March 24, 2026. The Sora app and web experience were discontinued on April 26, 2026, and the API followed on September 24, 2026. Sora is no longer available anywhere.
What is the best Sora alternative?
Kling 3.0 is the closest match for Sora's cinematic quality and adds features Sora never had, like motion control. Veo 3.1 is the pick if you need generated audio. Both are on Krater, alongside 15+ other video models.
Why did OpenAI discontinue Sora?
OpenAI said it is simplifying its product lineup to focus on coding tools, business customers and its core AI research. The decision also ended its reported $1 billion partnership with Disney, which had licensed characters for Sora.
Can I still use Sora anywhere?
No. The consumer app, the professional web service and the API have all been shut down. No third-party platform can offer Sora anymore - including Krater, which removed it when the API went offline.
What happened to my Sora videos?
OpenAI offered an export window at sora.chatgpt.com/sunset before permanently deleting user data. If you missed it, your old clips are gone - but every alternative on Krater can recreate that workflow today.
Which Sora alternative is cheapest?
On Krater you pay per second of video, not per subscription. PixVerse V6 starts under 7 credits per second and Kling 2.6 delivers cinematic quality with audio for 17.5 credits per second - far below the $200/month Sora required through ChatGPT Pro.
