OpenAI has discontinued Sora. If it was part of your workflow, you need two things: your library out, and a new home for the work. Sogni runs open video models credit-free under a flat fair-use plan—and because the covered models are open-weight, no single vendor can sunset them out from under you.

OpenAI provides a data-export flow at sora.chatgpt.com/sunset ↗, with exports delivered as an emailed archive from sora.chatgpt.com/exports/me ↗. Content that is not exported is subject to permanent deletion under OpenAI's stated timeline—check OpenAI's help center ↗ for the current cutoff.
Map the work, not the brand. Different jobs migrate to different models—and one honest row below says “no equivalent.”
| You used Sora for | On Sogni | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Text-to-video clips | LTX-2.3, covered by Unlimited | Up to 4K 24fps or 1080p 60fps with native audio, up to 20s per clip |
| Image-to-video | LTX-2.3 or WAN 2.2, covered by Unlimited | Reuse your exported source frames directly |
| Character and subject continuity | WAN 2.2 Animate Replace; Seedance 2.0 reference assets (pay-as-you-go) | Seedance restricts reference images of real people |
| Frontier "hero shot" quality | Seedance 2.0, pay-as-you-go Spark with member discount | Honest note: no model on Sogni is Sora 2—different families, different looks |
| API and automation | Sogni SDK + REST API, included with Unlimited | Covered open-model jobs stay credit-free under fair-use rules |
| The Sora social feed and cameos | No equivalent | Sogni is a creation platform, not a social feed |
“Unlimited” on Sogni means credit-free fair-use access to supported open models—active job limits, queues, and daily throttle resets apply, and proprietary partner models like Seedance 2.0 use pay-as-you-go Spark. Not infinite, instantaneous GPU capacity.
What you can replace is the workflow: text-to-video and image-to-video at quality that ships client work, under pricing that doesn't meter your iteration.
Covered Sogni jobs do not consume Spark or SOGNI per render. Shared capacity still has physical limits, so the base plan publishes practical concurrency and queue controls.
Active-job limits, queue management, and anti-abuse controls prevent one account from monopolizing the community GPU network. Very heavy sustained use can receive lower priority during peak demand, and heavy-use throttles reset each UTC day. Priority jobs and proprietary partner models—GPT Image 2, Seedance 2.0, HappyHorse 1.1—use separately purchased Spark with a member discount.
Each model has different strengths. Use the trial to find the route that fits your actual shots—not a generic benchmark.

OpenAI discontinued the Sora consumer app and web experience on April 26, 2026. The Videos API and the sora-2 model family are removed from the API on September 24, 2026, per OpenAI's developer deprecation notice.
OpenAI provides an export flow at sora.chatgpt.com/sunset, with exports delivered as an emailed archive from sora.chatgpt.com/exports/me. Export both your generations and your prompts before OpenAI's stated deletion deadline—check OpenAI's help center for the current cutoff.
None is identical—different model families produce different results. LTX-2.3 is the closest covered open model for general text-to-video and image-to-video, up to 4K with audio. For frontier quality on specific shots, Seedance 2.0 is available pay-as-you-go.
Sogni Unlimited includes SDK and REST API access, and covered open-model jobs remain credit-free under fair-use rules. Test your pipeline during the trial before September 24 so you can run both side by side.
No. Sogni is a creation platform with web, Mac, and iOS apps and an API—there is no social feed. If the Sora feed was your main use, Sogni replaces the creation workflow, not the community.
The models covered by Unlimited are open-weight (LTX, WAN, the open image catalog). Open weights can't be revoked by a single vendor's product decision, and Sogni's catalog is plural by design. Proprietary partner models are clearly marked pay-as-you-go, so you always know which kind you're depending on.
