My Remote Mac strengths
- Cheapest entry: M4 16 GB at $85/mo
- Root SSH + VNC, Xcode pre-installed
- Physical (non-virtualized) Apple hardware
- CI integrations (GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins)
My Remote Mac limitations
- M4 Pro tier is 24 GB for $229/mo — too little memory for 32B+ models, at a higher price than 64 GB builds elsewhere
- Lineup tops out at 64 GB (M2 Ultra, $899/mo) — no 128–256 GB class
- No AI stacks, no inference API — bring-your-own everything
- VNC remote access — no browser-native desktop
- US-only hosting (CLOUD Act reach)
Why Macyou wins
- AI stacks pre-installed (Ollama, MLX, agents) + OpenAI-compatible API out of the box
- 64 GB M4 Pro from $199/mo — more memory than their $229 tier, for less
- Up to M3 Ultra 256 GB and Thunderbolt 5 clustering
- Browser desktop (WebRTC) — nothing to install
- Jurisdiction outside US CLOUD Act reach; annual −20%
