What this page proves
- Active, maintained text-to-video and image-to-video alternative to discontinued Sora
- No arbitrary total-length cap through extension chaining
- Transparent credit billing: 200 credits every month on Standard. 1,500 on Pro.
What this page does not prove
- Exact reproduction of Sora-specific aesthetic artifacts or camera styles
- Unrestricted free generation (Bonega is a paid subscription service)
- Built-in nonlinear video editing suite (exports MP4 video clips)

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did OpenAI shut down Sora?
OpenAI announced the discontinuation on March 24, 2026, closed the Sora app and website on April 26, 2026, and has scheduled the Sora API to shut down on September 24, 2026. OpenAI did not give a single public reason.
Is Bonega a direct replacement for Sora?
Bonega covers all the core features Sora offered, and adds more. You get text-to-video, image-to-video, an auto-routed pipeline that uses the model our pipeline currently selects, no total length limit, and flexible pricing. Unlike Sora, Bonega is actively maintained and available now.
How does the Bonega pipeline work?
Bonega is one pipeline, not a list of models you pick from. Your video goes through the model our pipeline currently selects. When a new model is added, your next video uses it automatically. Same subscription cost.
How much does Bonega cost?
Standard starts at $9/month with 200 monthly credits. Pro is $49/month with 1,500 credits. You can cancel anytime.
What is the maximum video length?
There is no hard duration limit. Sora had a clip-length cap; Bonega chains extensions instead, so you can extend a video as long as you need. Each extension uses credits, so you control the cost.
Do videos have watermarks?
No watermark is applied, on any plan. Downloads are the generated MP4 clip only (no voiceover, captions, music, or editing included), ready for commercial use, social media, or client work once you add those yourself. Permission from Bonega to use an output commercially does not itself guarantee copyright protection, clearance of every third-party right, platform acceptance, or monetization.
Can I use Bonega for commercial projects?
Yes. Paid plan videos are fully licensed for commercial use, including YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, ads, and client deliverables. Permission from Bonega to use an output commercially does not itself guarantee copyright protection, clearance of every third-party right, platform acceptance, or monetization.
