Sora and Sora 2 are currently available under invite-only deployment in select regions, with tiered usage limits and subscription controls. At launch, the app is restricted to iOS users in the United States and Canada, and new users must obtain an invite to join the platform. The underlying model supports video generation up to 1080p resolution and videos approx. 20 seconds in length as part of baseline constraints.
On the subscription side, OpenAI has indicated that basic usage may come with restrictions on resolution, watermarking, or generation quotas, whereas higher tiers or Pro versions (for example via ChatGPT Pro) may unlock priority generation, higher fidelity, or watermark-free downloads. Because the app is new, OpenAI describes access terms as evolving, which means developers and users should expect adjustments to quotas, geographic availability, and pricing over time.
In summary, access to Sora / Sora 2 today is limited and gated, with invite-only enrollment, app support initially on iOS in the U.S./Canada, and tiered subscription constraints. Higher tiers will likely unlock more capabilities. As adoption grows, OpenAI may expand region support, platform compatibility, and subscription plans.
