OpenAI on FairStack Verified pricing -- last updated 2026-08-08

GPT Image 2 by the image, Sora 2 by the second. No subscription.

We carry two OpenAI families: GPT Image 2 for stills ($0.072/image, editing at $0.072/image) and Sora 2 for video ($0.12/s, Pro at $0.36/s (720p)). Same models — you buy them by the image and by the second instead of by the month, and nothing expires.

If you are here, this is probably why

You want GPT Image 2 or Sora 2 without a ChatGPT subscription attached to it
Your usage is irregular, and a plan you do not fully use is spend you do not get back
You need image and video behind one API key, one balance and one bill
You need spending caps at the org, project and API key level because an agent, not a person, is calling the API

The short version

They are OpenAI's models. GPT Image 2 is $0.072/image and the edit endpoint is $0.072/image, with the price shown before you run it.
Video is the same deal: Sora 2 is $0.12/s and Sora 2 Pro is $0.36/s (720p), billed by the second of output.
What changes is how you buy: no plan, no monthly allowance, and a balance that does not expire.
Plus 28 image and 49 video models in total on the same API key, so a project can mix providers without a second account.

No plan to pick and no monthly allowance to use up or lose

When to go direct to OpenAI

We resell OpenAI. Sometimes buying from them directly is the right call — here is when.

OpenAI bundles chat, code and reasoning with image and video — if you want one subscription covering all of it, buy it from them
We carry GPT Image 2 and Sora 2 only. DALL-E 3 and OpenAI's text and reasoning models are not resold here
The Sora consumer app — its feed, cameos and social remixing — is a different product from an API call and exists only on OpenAI's side
New OpenAI model versions land on their platform first
If your organisation has a negotiated OpenAI enterprise agreement, buy under that contract
