Quick answer
OpenAI discontinued the Sora app on April 26, 2026, and the Sora API sunsets on September 24, 2026. Until that API shutdown date, Sora 2 remains accessible through third-party platforms — VdoBloom among them — but after September 24, 2026 the model will no longer be available anywhere. Creators who relied on Sora are migrating to alternatives like Google VEO 3.1, Kling, Wan, and Seedance.
The shutdown happens in two stages: the consumer app went first in April 2026, and the developer API — which platforms like VdoBloom use to offer Sora 2 — follows in September 2026.
For anyone with Sora-based workflows, the practical move is testing replacement models now. VEO 3.1 is the closest fit for cinematic realism with native audio, while Kling, Wan, and Seedance cover image animation and high-volume social work.
VdoBloom continues to offer Sora 2 until the API sunset and carries all of those alternative models in the same interface, which makes side-by-side migration testing straightforward.
VdoBloom starts you with 10 free credits — enough to put this into practice with no card required.
