Two models, four billing periods. Rent by the day, with same-day setup after payment. Service stops at expiry unless renewed—no long-term contract.
Need one quick iOS build, or a Mac for a week of client builds? Check project size and whether tasks may queue before choosing a rental term. The Mac mini M4 costs $20.2/day, so there’s no need to buy a machine that may sit idle after a short project.
A dedicated machine, not a virtual machine. Extend your rental in the console if a project runs over. Export your code, certificates and build artifacts before your rental ends.
Both plans provide a dedicated physical Mac mini; the difference is project capacity and room for concurrent tasks. Don’t choose a higher spec just because you have more clients: separate machines and one more powerful machine solve different problems.
VM Sprint M4
For routine native and cross-platform app builds
Good for:Windows teams syncing code to a Mac for Xcode Archive, Flutter iOS builds or short-term testing on a physical device.
Not for:Projects with code, caches and assets near the machine’s capacity, or multiple demanding tasks that can’t wait in a queue.
VM Sprint Pro
For large projects, assets and parallel builds
Good for:Large Xcode projects exported from Unity, continuous builds with multiple targets, or delivery weeks that need room for dependencies, assets and build caches.
Not for:Projects that only occasionally produce a small IPA and have no significant memory or storage demands.

Prices are for the complete machine. Storage upgrades and Thunderbolt 5 interconnects are priced separately. All prices are in USD; check the total with add-ons at checkout.
Use the full macOS desktop and command line. Follow the getting-started checklist for your first connection, toolchain setup and certificate import. Find connection details and credentials in your instance details after signing in; they aren’t shown publicly.
A two-week project doesn’t necessarily need a Mac for two weeks. First mark the dates you’ll actually need macOS for testing, signing and builds. If you’ll be rebuilding every day, compare plans by continuous usage.
For either model, a weekly plan costs less than paying by the day from day 3 onward. For M4, the break-even point is 54.6 ÷ 20.2 ≈ 2.70 days; for M4 Pro, it’s 160 ÷ 59.3 ≈ 2.70 days. In whole days, both break even on day 3.
Choose daily for a one-off urgent build. Choose weekly when delivery week involves continuous builds, regression testing and uploads. Don’t treat separate usage days as one continuous rental.
For M4, 101.1 ÷ 54.6 ≈ 1.85 weeks; for M4 Pro, 296.3 ÷ 160 ≈ 1.85 weeks. If you expect to need the Mac for two weeks straight, compare the monthly plan before buying two weekly periods back to back.
Choose weekly when you have a confirmed delivery task for one week. Choose monthly when testing and review feedback will span several weeks. These are listed prices; unused time isn’t automatically prorated or refunded.
Consider a quarterly plan only if you’re sure you’ll use the Mac for three full months. For M4, calculate 101.1 × 3 − 275 to see how much less the quarterly plan costs than three monthly periods: $28.3; for M4 Pro, calculate 296.3 × 3 − 805.9 for a difference of $83.
Choose monthly if the client hasn’t decided whether to continue iterating. Choose quarterly once follow-up releases and support are scheduled. Don’t rent time you don’t yet know you’ll need just to save on the billing period.
Estimate the space needed for source code, dependencies, derived data, archives and assets—not just the repository. More storage solves capacity issues, but won’t give an M4 the memory of an M4 Pro or separate client access for you.
For projects that need to retain multiple archives, dependencies and build caches. If client archives keep growing, set a retention policy before adding storage.
Not for: adding storage just because there are lots of files, without checking actual usage first.
For large Unity projects, audio and video assets, and build outputs across multiple versions. Inventory source assets and exported copies first; don’t keep rebuildable caches indefinitely.
Not for: treating extra storage as your only backup, with no separate export at project end.
Priced per machine. For workflows that need multiple Macs connected, confirm the machine count, locations and software scheduling approach before renting.
Not for: expecting connected Macs to pool memory or routine single-machine builds to run across multiple machines automatically.
Both models are available in Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul and Hong Kong. If you’ll use remote desktop heavily, consider the network connection of the person operating the Mac. If you’ll submit builds mainly over SSH, also consider the route for transferring source code and build artifacts.
| Location / region served | Typical round-trip latency | Mac mini M4 | Mac mini M4 Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| Singapore · Southeast Asia | 20~50ms | Available | Available |
| Tokyo · East Asia | 30~60ms | Available | Available |
| Seoul · Northeast Asia | 30~50ms | Available | Available |
| Hong Kong · South China and Southeast Asia | 20~40ms | Available | Available |
Latency ranges are indicative, not measured city by city. Both models are typically available across locations; check the console for real-time availability.
Dedicated means renting the entire physical machine, not splitting a host into virtual instances. Set up your toolchain, signing certificates, keychain and code for each project without sharing the machine with other tenants.
If your studio delivers work for different clients at the same time, separate machines make it easier to manage access, certificates and build queues. For occasional builds on a small project, one machine can be shared in turn. Archive your work and remove credentials you no longer need before switching clients.
This describes how machines are allocated; it’s not a live monitoring view or a photo of the hardware.
Prices are listed and charged in USD. Confirm your model, location, rental term and add-ons before paying. Don’t wait until a client is asking for a build to organize certificates and project dependencies.
Pay with USDT-TRC20 or Visa, Mastercard or Amex via Stripe. All payments are in USD. Available payment methods depend on the options returned by the payment gateway.
For USDT-TRC20, follow the network, address and amount shown at checkout. Pay by card through the checkout flow; don’t send full card numbers or sensitive payment details in a support ticket.
To keep using a machine, find it and its subscription in the console, check the billing period and renew. If you no longer need it, service stops at expiry unless renewed, with no cancellation fee.
Before stopping, export your source code, build artifacts and required certificates, and verify your backups. The system is cleaned before the machine is reassigned after your rental ends, so don’t rely on its disk to archive your project.
Choose a model, location and rental term at checkout. Your Mac is set up the same day you pay. Service stops at expiry unless renewed.
