In their own words
MacinCloud
MacinCloud provides remote access to physical Mac servers for development, testing, and other tasks that require macOS. Its listed tools include Xcode, Visual Studio for Mac, Visual Studio Code, and Android Studio. Managed and Dedicated plans can connect through modern HTML5 browsers without a separate remote desktop client; its RDP service supports Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol and up to 4K HDR resolution. Dedicated Server includes full administrator, root, and sudo access, while Pay-As-You-Go and Managed Server do not. Customers must use their own software licenses, and some software may be restricted for licensing, stability, or security reasons. MacinCloud offers hosted runners or agents for Azure Pipelines, Bitbucket, GitHub Actions, GitLab, and TeamCity, and lists Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, and Box for file syncing. Plans include Pay-As-You-Go at $4 a month, Managed Server at $25 a month, and Dedicated Server at $49 a month. A first-time customer can purchase a $0.99 24-hour Managed Server trial; Dedicated Server has no trial.
