My Remote Mac Pricing 2026: $85 to $899/mo
Full disclosure: this review is written by Macyou, a competing Mac cloud provider. We rent dedicated Apple Silicon Macs for AI workloads. Every price below comes from My Remote Mac's public pricing page (verified 2026-10-12), and we link to it so you can check us.
The short version
My Remote Mac, budget dedicated Mac minis, US-hosted, is a good fit for solo iOS developers who need the cheapest possible bare Mac for CI. Entry pricing is about $85/mo for a M4 · 16 GB · 256 GB machine. The two things most people miss before signing up: no AI/ML tooling preinstalled and largest memory option is 64 GB. If your workload is AI inference rather than iOS builds, the lack of pre-installed inference stacks is the biggest practical gap.

Reading the My Remote Mac price list
The $85 entry price is the cheapest dedicated M4 we have seen and it is honest: physical hardware, root access, no setup fee. Above it the ladder is now sensible: an M4 Pro with 48 GB at $299 and 64 GB at $449. The ceiling is the issue for models: 64 GB holds a 70B at Q4 and nothing larger, and the $899 M2 Ultra has more bandwidth but the same 64 GB.
My Remote Mac in context
My Remote Mac has the cheapest entry price in the niche: a base M4 Mac mini (16 GB / 256 GB) at $85/mo with root SSH and VNC, Xcode preinstalled, and CI integrations. The lineup now runs from that M4 through M4 Pro builds with 24, 48 and 64 GB ($229, $299 and $449/mo) to a 64 GB M2 Ultra at $899/mo, plus a new Mac mini M6 from $149/mo; the base M4 can also be rented by the day at $14. Memory stops at 64 GB, machines come with no AI tooling, and hosting is in the US only (CLOUD Act jurisdiction).
Who should choose My Remote Mac
My Remote Mac is the right pick for a solo iOS developer who needs the cheapest possible bare Mac for CI and remote Xcode, and who is fine with VNC and US hosting. For LLM work it covers models up to 70B at Q4 on the 64 GB tiers, with no AI tooling preinstalled and nothing above 64 GB.
