AI Tools That Shut Down or Changed Plans, 2025–2026

Short answer

Three closures matter most for buyers: Tome's AI slides product (reported closed 30 April 2025), Sourcegraph Cody Free and Pro (ended 23 July 2025, verified) and OpenAI's Sora (app reported closed 26 April 2026, API 24 September 2026). Each entry lists the evidence, the date and where users went.

Why track this

When a tool closes, users lose access to their work at short notice. Before committing to a tool, check whether it exports your work in open formats and whether the company has a history of plan changes. We add entries only with a linked source and update this tracker as our catalogue liveness checks run.

Under review

Twenty-nine tools in our catalogue are awaiting a liveness check. Until it is done, their pages show a notice that availability and pricing have not been re-checked since June 2026.
