Configurations & Pricing

Choose a Cloud Mac Plan for Your Workload

Both plans provide a dedicated physical machine running on an isolated physical node, with no shared compute resources and no virtualization. Rent by the day, week, month, or quarter, starting at $19.1/day .

Choose a configuration based on required memory, concurrent build count, and working-data volume, then select a billing period based on task duration. All four locations—Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, and Hong Kong—are available; real-time availability is returned by the control panel.

Compare Line by Line

Compare the Two Plans

Do not choose based on the entry price alone. Memory determines how many tools and build processes can run simultaneously, while built-in storage affects local space for dependency caches, derived data, and build artifacts.

How to Choose a Rental Period: When the task end date is clear, compare the total price for the relevant period. For ongoing use, also consider dependency-cache reuse, repeated environment initialization, and data-migration costs instead of comparing daily prices alone.

Choose by Workload

Select a Configuration from Your Workload

Measure a real task’s peak memory, build time, cache size, and parallel process count, then choose a plan with reasonable headroom. Use the mappings below to narrow your options; they do not replace project testing.

LOAD / LIGHT

Scripts and Light Builds

When tasks can run sequentially, project count is low, and dependency caches and derived data remain manageable, start by evaluating XVM M4 Core. It suits repository checks, automation scripts, single-project tests, and short build cycles.

  • Only a few build processes run concurrently
  • Intermediate artifacts can be cleared after each task
  • No need to retain large images and caches long term
Choose XVM M4 Core
LOAD / PARALLEL

Multi-Project and Concurrent Builds

For daily work across multiple projects, simulator-related tools, multiple dependency directories, or parallel build queues, start by evaluating XVM M4 Plus with 24GB memory and a 512GB SSD.

  • Multiple repositories share one continuous development environment
  • Build caches must be reused across tasks
  • Concurrent processes create significant memory peaks
Choose XVM M4 Plus
LOAD / MLX

Large-Model Inference and MLX Experiments

Check model parameter count, precision or quantization, context length, and unified-memory usage during inference first. If the estimate fits within 24GB, choose XVM M4 Plus; model-file size alone is not enough.

  • Reserve memory headroom for the system and runtime
  • Plan separate locations for models, caches, and output files
  • Run one repeatable test with the target model first

Optional Add-ons

Expansion Costs Listed Separately

Add-ons are billed separately according to the selected rental period. SSD expansion adds space for working data, dependency caches, and artifacts; Thunderbolt 5 interconnects are billed per participating device.

Optional Add-on Daily Weekly Monthly Quarterly Use Case
+1TB SSD $2.7 $7.3 $13.5 $36.7 Suitable for dependency caches, build archives, and medium-sized working data.
+2TB SSD $5.4 $14.6 $27 $73.4 Suitable for larger build caches, model files, and long-term project directories.
Thunderbolt 5 Interconnect (per device) $1.5 $4.1 $7.6 $20.7 Charged per participating device; verify each device during order configuration.

Measure Your Working Set First

Measure the total size of repositories, dependencies, derived data, archives, and model files, then reserve space for updates and temporary files. Do not keep application-level backups only on the same working disk.

Separate Built-in and Expanded Storage

The plan’s built-in SSD capacity is fixed. After selecting an expanded SSD, verify its mount, directory permissions, and intended use on first connection before moving caches or working data.

Review Every Billing Line

The base machine, rental period, and each add-on are priced separately. Before placing an order, check that the device count, expanded capacity, and interconnect count match your expectations.

Regional Availability Matrix

Two Models Across Four Locations

Both XVM M4 Core and XVM M4 Plus are available in Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, and Hong Kong. The listed combinations are generally orderable; real-time availability is returned by the control panel.

Do Not Choose by Map Distance Alone

Remote connection quality is also affected by your local carrier, cross-border routing, office-network congestion, and client settings. Test each target location from the team’s actual network before choosing a long-term deployment site.

Choose a Location for Your Workflow

For interactive remote development, prioritize round-trip latency and jitter. For CI/CD builds, also consider connectivity between the code repository, artifact storage, and other dependent services. Locations run normally 365 days a year.

Hardware Specifications

Verify Fixed Specifications Before Ordering

Both plans are dedicated physical Mac mini M4 machines. The main differences are unified memory and built-in SSD capacity; network access and optional add-ons are confirmed separately during ordering.

Expanded SSD storage does not change the advertised built-in capacity of the base plan. After first connecting, check the system volume, expanded-disk mount status, directory permissions, and free space separately, and establish an application-level backup process.

Pre-Order Checklist

Confirm These Six Details Before Submitting

The wrong configuration is usually chosen not because the specifications are insufficient, but because task duration, concurrency, data volume, and network access were not assessed together. Recording each item on this checklist can reduce migration and reconfiguration after activation.

Record test results, target location, model, rental period, and add-ons in your team’s internal documentation. For collaboration, assign responsibility for credential storage, environment initialization, signing materials, and application-level backups.
  • Confirm Your Use Case Specify whether you need interactive development, automated builds, iOS/macOS packaging, scripts, or MLX experiments, and record the expected number of concurrent processes.
  • Choose a Location Choose from Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, and Hong Kong, then test latency, jitter, and routing using the team’s actual carrier.
  • Verify the Configuration Choose between 16GB RAM / 256GB SSD and 24GB RAM / 512GB SSD, and check peak memory usage and working-directory size.
  • Review the Billing Period Confirm whether you are renting by the day, week, month, or quarter, and review the base machine and add-on charges for SSD and Thunderbolt 5 interconnects separately.
  • Confirm Remote Access Requirements Prepare a stable network and compatible client, confirm that your corporate network does not block the required connections, and plan credential storage, session reconnection, and log collection.
  • Confirm the Payment Method All orders are settled in USD and support only USDT-TRC20 or Visa / Mastercard / Amex via Stripe.

USD Billing
