What happened to Sora?
OpenAI closed the Sora app on April 26, 2026 and the Sora API on September 24, 2026. Our Sora page lists what to use instead.
Why does Cirrela publish pages about other tools?
Because choosing one is hard and many comparisons hide their prices. Each page says what the tool costs and does well, including when it's a better pick than Cirrela, with its sources and the date we checked.
