Pollo AI uses a credit model for creator plans and a separate top-up model for API usage. The range is useful, but buyers should compare credits carefully because cost depends on model choice, duration, resolution, and output count.
Sora web/app access ended on April 26, 2026. OpenAI says the Sora API will discontinue on September 24, 2026.
