The Managed Server Plan
If you are looking for a low-cost cloud Mac server solution for building iOS or cross-platform Apps, completing day-to-day tasks that require a Mac, or publishing your app to the App Store, then try out our Managed Server Plan, which access to a standard user account on genuine Apple hardware and software.
With the Managed Plan, you will be able to connect to our servers with either Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or your favorite Web Browser. You will receive Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) access files and login credentials which will allow you to use any RDP client to gain access to the server.
If you require macOS Big Sur or Monterey, you may sign up for a No Limit Managed Server Plan. For macOS Catalina and older, you can choose among 3-hour, 8-hour and No Limit Managed Server Plans.
Use the Day Pass Plan for usage based billing with macOS Big Sur and newer
The Day Pass Plan offers a flexible usage based solution for users that wish to utilize MacinCloud Managed Servers for frequent or infrequent use. With the Day Pass Plan you may select from a 5-day, 10-day or 20-day monthly limit, depending on your specific usage needs.
If you foresee that you will be using your server for more than 20-days per month, the best suited Plan will be the No Limit Managed Server Plans.
Use the Pay-As-You-Go Plan if you'll use your server infrequently
If you are an infrequent Mac user (As in using your server for only a few hours every now and then), you should choose the Pay-As-You-Go Plan. With this Plan you pre-pay for usage credits in hour or day units, (Make sure you read and understand the billing rules) and can utilize them at your leisure.
If you foresee that you will use more than 7 days in a month with an average of 3 hours of use per day, you will be much better off choosing from the Managed Server Plans instead.
