One Video Only — Then Pay More. A Total Scam.
I subscribed to Sora at $15 per week after all the hype about “Hollywood-quality video in seconds.” I didn’t wing it — the prompts were generated by ChatGPT, not me. I even made things simpler by leaving out text, music, and editing, because I planned to add those myself later in iMovie. All I needed was the core video. Attempt 1: I asked for a 20-second cinematic trailer. What I got back was a 6-second unusable mess. Not the length I asked for, not the quality promised, but it still burned 300 credits (about $4 NZD). Attempt 2 (completely different video, completely different prompt): My account showed 800 credits left from the original 1,120. I didn’t retry the same thing — I started fresh with a totally separate video idea and a different prompt. But instead of using my balance, Sora immediately blocked me with a demand for another $29.99 for 1,000 credits. It never told me how many credits the second video would cost. It didn’t matter that I had credits left — the system simply refused to use them. The reality is this: your $15 weekly subscription only gets you ONE video attempt. After that, you’re locked out and forced into paying more. Other Issues: • You can’t reliably upload your own images unless you use clunky pre-set templates. • The platform hides the true credit costs until your balance is gone. • You end up paying for failed outputs, then immediately face a $29.99 upsell before you can even try again. This isn’t AI creativity, and it’s not even an honest subscription. It’s a predatory credit scam. You pay $15 every week, get one broken clip, and then your account is held hostage for more money. Avoid at all costs.
