Cloud Mac mini M4

  • From about $101.7/month, or try it by the day
  • Dedicated bare metal · dedicated IPv4
  • Multi-region deployment · scale with your project
  • Great for trials, CI, and remote teams

Local Mac mini

  • About $799+ one-time
  • Network depends on your local connection
  • Good for long-term full-time local development
  • Upgrades require replacing hardware yourself

Included with every plan

Whichever tier you pick,
this is already included

A standard macOS environment supporting Xcode, simulators, Docker and Homebrew; extra disk and Thunderbolt are priced separately below.

A whole dedicated Mac mini

Bare-metal delivery, not a time-shared VM; compute and isolation are predictable.

1 Gbps dedicated

Independent egress bandwidth per machine - transfers, dependency pulls and remote desktop don't compete with anyone else's line.

Dedicated IPv4

Standard plans come with their own public IP; easier to manage allow-lists, callbacks and a fixed egress.

SSH · VNC

Grab credentials from the dashboard once provisioned; SSH for the command line, VNC for the graphical desktop.

Order without registering

After paying on the order page, log in from the same browser to merge the order into your account.

Provisioning & support

Provisioning progress, power actions and technical support are all trackable end to end.

Billing

Four cycles,
for different rental rhythms

Go short for a trial, long for always-on builds or CI; switch the tabs above to see the price for each tier.

Daily

One-time purchase, good for testing build speed and latency; stops automatically at the end, no charge for the next period.

Weekly

Good for short projects or sprints; a weekly subscription that renews at the same tier unless cancelled before it ends.

Monthly

The most common always-on cycle; a monthly subscription suited to long-term development and CI pipelines.

Quarterly

Less to think about over a longer cycle; a quarterly subscription usually works out cheaper per month than renewing monthly.

Extend it

Ready to go,
and easy to extend

Disk and Thunderbolt bridging pricing updates with the cycle tabs above; select them alongside your host on the order page.

+1TB disk

More room for Xcode caches, Docker images and asset libraries; good for archiving larger projects.

+$12.9 / mo

+2TB disk

A larger storage tier, good for multi-repo dependency caches and video editing assets.

+$26.2 / mo

Thunderbolt 5 bridging

High-speed links between machines, good for multi-node CI coordination and parallel builds.

+$8.9 / mo

Which to choose

16GB or 24GB?
Pick based on your use case

Both tiers share the same network and delivery specs; the main difference is memory and disk. Try a short daily rental first if you're unsure.

16GB · 256GB

Productivity · single-project dev

  • Single-repo Xcode compiling and packaging
  • Plenty of memory for controlled simulator concurrency
  • Try a day / week, then switch to monthly

Monthly reference $102.9 / mo

24GB · 512GB · Recommended

Coding & CI · multitasking

  • Multi-branch builds, IDE and simulators together
  • More headroom for Fastlane packaging and dependency caching
  • Better suited to AI inference and heavy recompiles

Monthly reference $202.9 / mo

Still not sure?

We'd suggest renting the 16GB tier by the day first to test compile times and VNC latency; if simulators or CI keep maxing out memory, upgrade to 24GB or add disk. For multi-project isolation, spin up multiple instances so certificates and environments never cross over.
