FAQ

Mac mini rental pricing FAQ

Key facts about plan differences, billing, and bare-metal hardware — at a glance.

01

What's the difference between Mac mini M4 and M4 Pro cloud rental plans?

The Mac mini M4 cloud rental plan offers 16GB and 24GB unified memory options with a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU — ideal for individual developers, lightweight CI tasks, and everyday Xcode builds. The Mac mini M4 Pro macOS rental plan upgrades to a 14-core CPU, 20-core GPU, and up to 64GB unified memory, designed for large-scale builds, parallel multi-task workloads, and memory-intensive applications. Both plans provide a dedicated bare-metal physical machine, 1Gbps dedicated bandwidth, and access to 5 global macOS cloud data centers.

02

How does kvmrun Mac mini cloud rental billing work?

kvmrun macOS cloud rental billing is transparent and flexible with no hidden fees. At checkout, freely choose your billing cycle — daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly — with no setup fee. Monthly plans offer the best per-day value; daily billing is ideal for short sprints or temporary elastic scaling. You can switch billing cycles or release your Mac mini rental instance anytime from the console. Billing starts when the macOS cloud instance finishes initializing and stops immediately upon active release.

03

Is the macOS cloud rental instance a real physical machine or a virtual machine?

kvmrun provides only real physical bare-metal machines — you're renting a complete Mac mini M4, not a simulated environment built on virtualization. macOS runs natively on Apple Silicon with no Hypervisor layer underneath — zero performance overhead, zero compatibility concerns. This is critical for iOS development: Xcode builds, iOS simulators, and Apple notarization all require real hardware. For a detailed comparison of bare-metal Mac mini cloud rental vs. Mac virtual machines, see the Mac mini rental configuration guide.
