Where MacinCloud fits

MacinCloud is a good fit if you want the cheapest possible way to occasionally reach a Mac, a ready-made managed environment where someone else handles administration, or pay-as-you-go access for a few hours at a time. If you want an entire dedicated Mac with full performance, flat pricing and support included, that is where Green Mini host is built to win.

A bare metal Mac, not a shared account

MacinCloud's affordable plans give you a managed user account on a Mac shared with other people, with their team handling administration. With us, even the entry plan is a whole dedicated Mac that is yours alone, with full root access from the first minute.

A dedicated Mac for less

To get a Mac entirely to yourself on MacinCloud you move to a dedicated plan at $124.99 a month for an M4, or $1,249 a year. Our dedicated M4 starts at €69 a month.

Consistent, predictable performance

Because the whole machine is yours, build times and test runs stay steady. On a shared managed plan your performance depends on what everyone else on the same Mac is doing.

Pick exactly what you need

Choose any Mac mini or Mac Studio configuration we have available, or ask for a custom setup, all on current Apple silicon or even legacy Intel machines.

Your data stays in the EU

Green Mini host is an EU company with servers in the Netherlands, so you stay under GDPR. MacinCloud is a US-based provider, which can bring your data within reach of the US CLOUD Act even when you choose a European region.

Support included, never upsold

Every plan includes 24/7 emergency support and free remote hands during business hours, so a human is ready when something needs attention.
