Sora is closing April 26.
We have you covered.
OpenAI is shutting down the Sora short-form video app on April 26, 2026. If you built anything on Sora — storyboards, client work, social content, personal projects — you need a new home. ZSky AI is offering every migrating Sora user 500 bonus credits, no screenshot required.
“Everyone has the right to create beauty — even when your tool gets taken away.”
The Offer — 500 Free Credits
For every Sora user who migrates to ZSky AI before April 26, we are giving 500 bonus signup credits — that is 150% more than our normal 200-credit signup bonus — plus 100 daily credits thereafter, as long as you stay active. No Sora screenshot required. No receipt. No proof-of-purchase. We trust you.
Enter this code at signup or in your account settings after you create your free ZSky account.

What ZSky Offers That Sora Did Not
Genuinely free tier
Sora required ChatGPT Plus at $20/month minimum. ZSky is free to start. No credit card. No paywall to try it.
1080p with audio
Every clip is 1080p with synchronized audio out of the box. Sora had audio, but only on its paid tier.
Made in USA
Runs on privately owned GPU hardware on US soil. Sora ran on OpenAI's shared cloud. Your prompts never leave the country.
No watermark
Clean output on every tier, including free. Sora forced a visible watermark on most clips; ZSky does not.
Full commercial use
Use your videos in ads, YouTube, client work, or paid products. Sora had strict content limits; ZSky trusts you.
Failed generations refunded
If a render comes back broken, your credits come back too. Sora did not refund. ZSky does, automatically.

Why We Are Doing This
ZSky AI exists because everyone has the right to create beauty. When a tool you depend on gets taken away, it is not just an inconvenience — it is a piece of your creative practice being erased. We know how that feels. ZSky was built by a founder who lost his words to a traumatic brain injury and had to rebuild his creative life from scratch. We do not want anyone to lose their creative workflow overnight without a soft landing.
So for the 18 days between April 8 and the Sora shutdown, we are upgrading our normal signup bonus from 200 credits to 500 credits for anyone coming from Sora. No screenshot, no proof, no gatekeeping. If you say you are a Sora refugee, you are a Sora refugee. Welcome home.
3,000+ creators are joining daily already. Come build with us.
