Introduction
Wisdom Gate has just launched a lower cost tier for the powerful Sora2 API, making advanced, synced audio-video generation more accessible than ever. Both content creators and developers can now experiment with rich media output while controlling operational budgets.
What is Sora 2
Media Generation Capabilities
Sora 2 is a cutting-edge media generation model designed to produce highly detailed video clips paired with perfectly synced audio. It can transform natural language or image prompts directly into polished video outputs.
Video and Audio Syncing
Unlike basic video generation tools, Sora 2 ensures that visual content aligns perfectly with audio cues, giving your outputs a more professional touch.
What's New: Lower Cost Access
Pricing Structure
New lower rates make the API more attractive for experimentation:
- sora-2: $0.20 per request (10s, 720p, no watermark)
- sora-2-hd: $0.50 per request (10s, 1080p, no watermark)
- sora-2-pro: $1.00 per request (15s, 1080p, no watermark)
Tier 2 Upgrade Requirement
A $10 top-up is needed to upgrade to Tier 2, unlocking the full Sora 2 series models.
Key Features

You can reference publicly authorized character IDs from Sora.com in your prompts using the @id format. Example: @sama can appear in a scene without needing custom uploads.
Aspect Ratio Control
Specify horizontal or vertical in your prompt to control output format, perfect for tailoring videos for different platforms.
Output Quality Options
Choose from standard 720p, HD 1080p, or Pro 1080p longer clips according to your creative needs and budget.
