Wan 3.0 vs Sora 2 Pro on Moosky
Wan 3.0 vs Sora 2 Pro. The Matchup, Settled Honestly.
Straight answer: Sora 2 Pro retired with its API on September 24, 2026 - you cannot generate on it anywhere anymore. Wan 3.0 is live on Moosky today: 2-30 second one-pass clips, reference kits with voice samples, and 480P-1080P renders quoted before you run.
Model Overview
The matchup, told straight
Someone typing 'wan 3.0 vs sora 2 pro' is comparing an engine you can rent today against one that no longer exists: OpenAI retired the Sora API on September 24, 2026, the endpoints return 410 Gone, and the Sora 2 and Sora 2 Pro composers on Moosky ship disabled - kept as documentation, not a product.
Sora 2 Pro (retired): 4/8/12-second clips, 720P to 1792x1024 HD, optional start frame
Sora 2 Pro (retired): billed 47-78 credits per second plus 10 base while hosted
Wan 3.0 (live): 2-30 second clips in one pass, 480P-1080P, native audio on by default
Wan 3.0 R2V (live): up to 10 images, 5 videos, and 5 standalone audio references
One balance for every lane: 100 credits per $1, the quote shows before you run, failed renders refund
Both histories hosted by Moosky; only the Wan lane renders today
The details
While Moosky hosted it, Sora 2 Pro was the premium text-to-video slot: clips of 4, 8, or 12 seconds at 720P or up to 1792x1024 HD, an optional start frame, and the synchronized dialogue that made the model famous. It billed at 47 credits per second (720P) or 78 (HD), plus a 10-credit base - the 8-second 720P default ran 386 credits.
Wan 3.0 is the live counterweight: 2-30 second clips in one pass, first/last-frame control, an R2V lane that holds characters and voices from a reference kit, and native audio on by default. Run your brief through the live lane and read the quote before you press generate.
Which to pick, by job
Pick the engine by the shot in front of you
Sora 2 Pro is off the board, so the live decision is which job gets which lane - priced on the real credit ladder, quoted on screen before any render.
Reference-driven scenes
Characters, props, or voices to hold across the clip: Wan 3.0 R2V steers from up to 10 images, 5 videos, and 5 standalone audio samples - Sora 2 Pro never had a reference lane.
Long one-takes
Narrative beats over 15 seconds belong to Wan 3.0: 2-30 seconds in a single pass with promptable camera language. Sora 2 Pro stopped at 12 seconds.
Plain text-to-video shots
A 5-second 480P draft on Wan 3.0 costs about 49 credits today; the same brief at 1080P runs about 164. The live quote always shows on the run button first.
Dialogue you can trust
Wan 3.0 preserves quoted dialogue in the prompt and ships native output audio on by default - the lane to run when you miss Sora's synchronized lines. Exact lip-sync is still maturing on Wan 3.0, per its own composer docs.
The Sora-era look, today
Want the physical-reality style Sora 2 Pro made famous? Seedance 2.5 is the flagship successor Moosky routes that intent to - same balance, rendered now.
Cost, plainly
Wan 3.0 quotes from duration and resolution (audio on or off does not move it). Sora 2 Pro's 8-second 720P default billed 386 credits while hosted - there is no run button left to press on it.
One live engine, one honest eulogy.
What each side of this matchup actually is - why this page routes you to a render button on one side and a documentary on the other.
The fair-test framing
Moosky hosted both engines, so this page compares what each was built to do instead of pretending a sunset model still competes. The retired side says so in every row.
Wan: the long take
Up to 30 seconds in one pass for narrative pacing and continuous camera language, at 480P-1080P - the longer single shot of the pair, rendering today.
Sora 2 Pro: the archived premium tier
4/8/12-second clips at 720P up to 1792x1024 HD with the synchronized dialogue that made the line famous - documented at its specs from Moosky's own composer config.
Both shipped native audio
Wan 3.0 keeps output audio on by default with quoted dialogue preserved; Sora 2 Pro's signature was dialogue and effects in the same pass. The audio bar did not die with the API.
Reference kits were Wan's edge
Wan 3.0 R2V holds identity from up to 10 images, 5 videos, and 5 voice samples. Sora 2 Pro took only an optional start frame - the clearest capability fork in the matchup.
A real credit ladder
Wan 3.0 at 480P runs about 49 credits for a 5-second draft; Sora 2 Pro billed 47 credits per second at 720P. Both sides of this table come from committed composer config, not benchmarks.
The successor lane
Everything the Sora tier did still has a home here: Seedance 2.5 takes the premium cinematic brief, Wan 3.0 takes length and reference work - one balance covers both.
No sunset surprise
Sora proved one-model platforms can vanish with your pipeline. Moosky spreads one prepaid balance across every frontier video engine, and failed renders are refunded.
How it works
Settle it in four moves
One account, one brief, one render - the only version of this comparison you can actually run.
1. Write one brief
Describe the subject, the camera move, and any spoken line. This is the exact prompt style Sora users wrote - Wan 3.0 takes it as-is.
2. Run the Wan 3.0 lane
Text-to-video or first/last frames, 2-30 seconds at 480P-1080P with native audio on by default. The credit quote shows before you run.
3. Add a reference kit if you have one
Wan 3.0 R2V accepts up to 10 images, 5 videos, and 5 standalone audio samples to hold characters, props, and voices - the input Sora 2 Pro never supported.
4. Keep the watermark-free clip
Download the keeper for client or monetized use. If the render fails, the credits come back - the same terms every hosted engine runs on.

Frequently Asked Questions
Wan 3.0 vs Sora 2 Pro - which should I use?
Wan 3.0, because Sora 2 Pro no longer runs anywhere. OpenAI retired the Sora API on September 24, 2026 - endpoints return 410 Gone and Moosky's Sora composers ship disabled. Wan 3.0 is live on Moosky: 2-30 second one-pass clips, first/last-frame control, reference kits with voice samples, native audio on by default. If what you miss is the Sora-era cinematic look rather than the brand, Seedance 2.5 is the flagship successor on the same balance.
Is Sora 2 Pro still available on Moosky?
No. Moosky hosted Sora 2 and Sora 2 Pro through the credit system until OpenAI retired the API on September 24, 2026. The composers stay in the codebase as documentation with generation disabled, and clips you exported while it ran are yours to keep. The /sora2 page tells the full story and routes the demand to the engines that render today.
How did Sora 2 Pro's pricing compare to Wan 3.0?
Sora 2 Pro was the premium slot: while Moosky hosted it, its composer billed 47 credits per second at 720P and 78 per second at up to 1792x1024 HD, plus a 10-credit base - the 8-second 720P default ran 386 credits. Wan 3.0 quotes from duration and resolution at 100 credits per $1: roughly 49 credits for a 5-second 480P draft, about 164 at 1080P. Same balance, a fraction of the per-clip cost - which is why the live lane gets the runs.
Which made longer clips, Wan 3.0 or Sora 2 Pro?
Wan 3.0, clearly: its live composer renders 2-30 seconds in a single pass, built for continuous camera language and one-take stories. Sora 2 Pro offered fixed takes of 4, 8, or 12 seconds. For anything past its 12-second ceiling - or stitched multi-beat stories - the long-take lane is where the comparison ends in Wan 3.0's favor.
Which held characters and voices better?
Wan 3.0, on paper and in practice - it has a lane for it. Its R2V composer steers identity from up to 10 reference images, 5 reference videos, and 5 standalone audio samples, documented for holding characters, props, space, and style across a clip. Sora 2 Pro took an optional start frame and nothing else for visual conditioning, so identity lived only in the prompt text.
Does Wan 3.0 have audio like Sora did?
It is on by default. Wan 3.0 ships native output audio on every render with the same quote either way, and preserves quoted dialogue written into the prompt - exact lip-sync and on-screen text are documented Wan 3.0 limits still maturing. For rough cuts, neither engine ever needed a separate voiceover pass.
What replaced the Sora 2 Pro cinematic tier?
On Moosky, Seedance 2.5 is the flagship successor: 4-30 second single-pass shots, native synchronized audio with lip-sync, up to 1080p, and the strict prompt adherence that made Sora demos convincing - plus a 30-image reference kit. LTX 2.5 covers cheap drafts. Everything bills from one credit balance, so 'the successor test' is one brief re-run, not a new subscription.
Can I still watch old Sora 2 Pro clips?
Yes - everything you exported from Moosky while the model was hosted is yours to keep, watermark-free, subject to OpenAI's terms at the time. The demo reel on this site's Sora pages is exactly that: a preserved render, not a promise you can generate more. The composer configs stay committed as documentation of what the engine was.
Why not just compare live engines instead?
For picking today's tool, /wan-3-0-vs-seedance-2-0 is the live head-to-head this page's sibling. This one exists because search kept typing 'wan 3.0 vs sora': people weigh the retired flagship's reputation against the live value lane, and the honest answer - availability, the 30-second one-take, the R2V reference kit, the credit ladder - settles the query where it actually points, at a render button.
Do I need a subscription to run Wan 3.0?
No. Moosky bills per clip: buy credits at 100 per dollar - they never expire - and the exact cost of your run shows on the button before anything renders. Sora 2 Pro's premium tier rode the $200/mo ChatGPT Pro plan; here the same class of brief is priced per shot, and failed renders are refunded.
Which should I run first for vertical social clips?
Wan 3.0, since it is the only one that can run at all: portrait renders at 480P, 720P, or 1080P (including 1080x1920), with the cheap 480P draft lane for hooks and the spoken line, and the 1080P pass when the cut is the deliverable. If the finished vertical needs the cinematic tier, re-render the hero beat on Seedance 2.5 and keep whichever earns the post.
