Looking for a Sora alternative because of the invite wall, the price, or just curiosity? Here are the models that actually compete with Sora 2 in 2026: Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.0, Kling v3.0 and Wan 2.2. All of them run on avots.ai from one balance, and so does Sora 2 Pro itself, so you can stop reading comparisons and just run your prompt through all of them.
