MAC CLOUD INDEX · VIRTUAL MACHINES

Compare macOS virtual machines

Find cloud macOS VMs with published hourly pricing, persistence claims, access methods and software images. Compare configurations before you rent.

VM listings use cost per hour. Stopping a VM may not stop an underlying reservation charge. Persistence and nested-virtualization claims are labeled from provider evidence; confirm current terms before purchase.

Watch-outs

2 listings lack a complete modeled bill under these assumptions — open sources before buying.
Many Mac cloud plans bill a minimum allocation (hours or months) even for short jobs — the Billing & commitment column leads with that term.
Stopping a VM may not stop an underlying reserved-Mac charge; confirm cancellation with the provider.

Company scorecards ↗ assess support and policies separately. Estimated bill is the total for your selected usage, including known required fees and billing minimums. The value score is a separate comparison, not a company rating. How scoring works ↗

Daily and hourly calendar equivalents use 30-day months and 365-day years. Usage-limited bundles instead divide by included hours. A lower unit price does not change the minimum purchase or billing period. Prices are in US dollars ($). Currency assumptions and full sources are available in the details.
