Yes, if you have ChatGPT Plus, you can make more requests compared to the Free tier. For example:
-
With ChatGPT Plus, you get higher usage limits for advanced models like GPT-4o and GPT-5.1. As of recent updates, Plus users can send up to 80 messages every 3 hours on GPT-4o and up to 160 messages every 3 hours on GPT-5.1 (this is a temporary increase and may revert to previous limits). Free users have much lower limits, such as 10 messages with GPT-5.1 every 5 hours, and are switched to a mini model after reaching the cap. Plus users also have access to additional features and higher limits for tools like data analysis, file uploads, and image generation, which are more restricted on the Free tier What is ChatGPT Plus?

-
If you reach your included limits on certain features (like Codex or Sora), Plus users can purchase additional credits to continue usage without upgrading to a higher plan Using Credits for Flexible Usage in ChatGPT (Free/Go/Plus/Pro) & Sora.
In summary: Yes, ChatGPT Plus allows you to make more requests and access more features than the Free tier.

Yes, if you have ChatGPT Plus, you can make more Sora video creation requests compared to Free users. ChatGPT Plus users have "unlimited" access to Sora for generating images and videos, subject to OpenAI’s Terms of Use and abuse guardrails. However, there may be temporary restrictions to prevent misuse or during periods of high demand, but generally, Plus users enjoy much higher or effectively unlimited usage compared to Free users, who are not eligible for Sora access at all What is ChatGPT Plus?

If you ever reach a usage cap, you can also purchase additional credits to continue generating videos without needing to upgrade to a higher plan Using Credits for Flexible Usage in ChatGPT (Free/Go/Plus/Pro) & Sora.

Sora video generation speed is prioritized based on your ChatGPT subscription plan, with ChatGPT Pro users receiving the highest priority. While ChatGPT Plus users do receive priority over Free users (who do not have Sora access), the knowledge sources do not explicitly state that Plus users get faster video generation than other paid tiers—only that Pro users have faster generations and higher priority. During peak hours, all users, including those on Pro plans, may experience wait times of up to several hours Generating videos on Sora Sora - Billing FAQ.
In summary: Plus users do get prioritized access compared to Free users, but Pro users have the fastest video generation speeds.

I'm sorry, but the knowledge sources do not provide specific or average time amounts for Sora video generation speed for Pro, Plus, or Free users under normal demand and with the same prompt. The documentation only states that Pro users receive the highest priority, Plus users have priority over Free users, and that during peak hours, wait times can be up to several hours for all users. No concrete average or approximate generation times are given for any tier Generating videos on Sora Sora - Billing FAQ.
