If you're looking for a Sora 2 invite code, you don't need one anymore. Sora 2 is now available to all paying ChatGPT subscribers, no invite, no waitlist, no special code. Just sign up for Plus or Pro and you'll find video generation in your ChatGPT interface.
The invite code system existed briefly during Sora's initial launch in late 2024, when OpenAI was rolling out access gradually. That phase ended months ago. If you're still seeing articles or Reddit posts about invite codes, they're outdated.
How to Access Sora 2 Right Now
- Go to chatgpt.com and sign in
- Subscribe to ChatGPT Plus ($20/month) or Pro ($200/month) if you haven't
- Open a new chat and look for the video generation option in the tools menu
- Type a text prompt describing the video you want
- Wait 1-5 minutes for generation (depends on length and server load)
No Free Access
Sora's free tier was removed on January 10, 2026. There is no way to use Sora without a paid ChatGPT subscription.
What Each Plan Gets You
| Feature | Plus ($20/mo) | Pro ($200/mo) |
|---|---|---|
| Sora access | Yes | Yes |
| Max video length | 15 seconds | 25 seconds |
| Monthly credits | 1,000 | 10,000 |
| Daily cap | ~30 credits | ~100 credits |
| Storyboard mode | No | Yes |
| Priority rendering | No | Yes |
For most people, Plus at $20/month is plenty. You get Sora along with all other ChatGPT features. Pro only makes sense if you're producing video content at volume or need the longer 25-second clips and storyboard mode.
Why People Still Search for Invite Codes
Three reasons: old information still ranking in search results, scam sites selling fake codes, and confusion between Sora access and ChatGPT Plus access. If any site asks you to pay for a Sora invite code, it's a scam. Access comes exclusively through your ChatGPT subscription.
If you want to explore AI video generation without a ChatGPT subscription, several alternatives like Runway, Kling, and PixVerse offer their own free tiers. Check our best Sora alternatives guide for a full comparison.
