- Per quarter$258.9/quarter
Pricing, configurations, and billing details
HireVM offers two dedicated Apple Silicon physical nodes. Each order provides one dedicated physical machine, not a virtual machine. Rent by the day, week, month, or quarter, with all charges settled in USD.
The entry plan is HireVM M4 at $19/day. For larger parallel builds, AI experiments, or high-load media work, choose HireVM Pro. Location and actual availability are confirmed in real time by the control panel.
16GB is suited to everyday development and light builds; 64GB is designed for large projects, parallel CI, AI experiments, and high-load media processing.
Use daily or weekly billing for short-term validation; monthly or quarterly billing suits ongoing development and stable pipelines, avoiding frequent environment rebuilds.
Choose one location from Singapore, Japan (Tokyo), South Korea (Seoul), Hong Kong, or the US West, then confirm your SSD and Thunderbolt 5 connection requirements.
Two plans available
Both models support daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly terms and can be ordered in all five locations. The key differences are the chip, memory, system drive capacity, and supported concurrency.
Ideal for a remote Mac desktop, everyday Xcode development, version compatibility testing, light builds, and single-pipeline tasks.
Designed for large projects, parallel CI, AI inference testing, high-load transcoding, and tasks requiring a larger local working set.
Configuration and price comparison
If memory pressure, build concurrency, or local data volume is the main concern, start with the configuration columns. If task duration is clear, compare the corresponding term prices.

Location and configuration matrix
Locations include Singapore, Japan (Tokyo), South Korea (Seoul), Hong Kong, and the US West. The combinations listed below are generally orderable; the control panel returns live availability at checkout.
| Location | HireVM M4 | Status | HireVM Pro | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Singapore | M4 / 16GB RAM / 256GB SSD | Available | M4 Pro / 64GB RAM / 2TB SSD | Available |
| Japan (Tokyo) | M4 / 16GB RAM / 256GB SSD | Available | M4 Pro / 64GB RAM / 2TB SSD | Available |
| South Korea (Seoul) | M4 / 16GB RAM / 256GB SSD | Available | M4 Pro / 64GB RAM / 2TB SSD | Available |
| Hong Kong | M4 / 16GB RAM / 256GB SSD | Available | M4 Pro / 64GB RAM / 2TB SSD | Available |
| US West | M4 / 16GB RAM / 256GB SSD | Available | M4 Pro / 64GB RAM / 2TB SSD | Available |
Add-ons
Add-ons do not change the base model name. At checkout, confirm the additional SSD capacity and number of Thunderbolt 5 connections separately; the bill displays the base host and each add-on as separate line items.
| Add-on | Best for | Per day | Per week | Per month | Per quarter |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| +1TB SSD | Dependency caches, build artifacts, and medium-sized media workspaces | $2.9/day | $7.7/week | $14.3/month | $38.9/quarter |
| +2TB SSD | Large project caches, datasets, and high-capacity media workspaces | $5.8/day | $15.4/week | $28.6/month | $77.8/quarter |
| Thunderbolt 5 connection (each) | Orders requiring multi-machine collaboration, peripheral links, or expanded workflows | $1.8/day | $5/week | $9.2/month | $25/quarter |
If source code, dependency caches, simulator data, and build artifacts will accumulate, estimate peak usage over a full term before choosing +1TB SSD or +2TB SSD. Thunderbolt 5 connections are priced per machine, so add them only when a defined multi-machine link is needed.
USD billing breakdown
This example uses a monthly HireVM M4 with +1TB SSD and two Thunderbolt 5 connections. It explains the bill structure only; the system will not automatically select add-ons for you.
The model and term determine the base charge. In this example, the monthly price for HireVM M4 is $95.2/month.
+1TB SSD costs $14.3/month; Thunderbolt 5 connections cost $9.2/month each, or $18.4 for two.
The total due in this example is $95.2 + $14.3 + $18.4, or $127.9. Recheck the quantity, location, and renewal date before submitting.
Pre-order checklist
The configuration page shows the final order details. Before proceeding to payment, review the task, model, location, connection, add-ons, and amount in that order.
Specify whether you need remote desktop development, Xcode builds, parallel CI, AI experiments, or audio/video processing, and estimate how long the work will run.
Choose one location from Singapore, Japan (Tokyo), South Korea (Seoul), Hong Kong, or the US West, prioritizing the locations of the main operators and code sources.
HireVM M4 has 16GB RAM and a 256GB SSD; HireVM Pro has 64GB RAM and a 2TB SSD. Do not choose based on the chip name alone.
Confirm whether you selected daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly billing, and make sure the term covers environment setup, execution, validation, and data export.
Check local network stability, your graphical desktop or command-line tools, and whether team members know how to securely store connection details.
Verify the SSD capacity, number of Thunderbolt 5 connections, and price for the selected term so the USD amount on the payment page matches your expectations.
Location latency reference
Round-trip latency varies with carrier routing, access method, cross-region links, and test time. Use the results below to narrow your options, not as a substitute for testing from your actual source network.
| Test source | Corresponding location | Access provider type | Test time | Round-trip latency |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hong Kong | Hong Kong | Local business broadband | 14:00–16:00 | 8–18 ms |
| Shanghai | Hong Kong | Fixed-network international gateway | 14:00–16:00 | 34–58 ms |
| Taipei | Japan (Tokyo) | Local business broadband | 14:00–16:00 | 31–47 ms |
| Tokyo | Japan (Tokyo) | Local fiber access | 14:00–16:00 | 6–14 ms |
| Seoul | South Korea (Seoul) | Local fiber access | 14:00–16:00 | 7–16 ms |
| Singapore | Singapore | Local business broadband | 14:00–16:00 | 7–15 ms |
| San Francisco | US West | Local fiber access | 14:00–16:00 | 12–24 ms |
Graphical desktops are more sensitive to sustained latency and jitter, so test from the network used by the primary operator. For command-line and automation tasks, focus on the code source, artifact upload destination, and team locations. For distributed teams, start with the endpoint used most frequently.
The figures show round-trip latency ranges measured during weekday working hours over standard business-network connections. They do not represent every provider, time period, or local network environment. Use the location recommendation as a reference only.
Payment and billing
All HireVM orders are billed in USD. Pay with USDT-TRC20 or with Visa, Mastercard, or Amex processed by Stripe. Actual gateway availability is confirmed by the control panel.
Before payment, check the model, term, location, SSD add-ons, number of Thunderbolt 5 connections, and final amount. For billing questions, retain the order number and payment amount; never submit complete payment credentials on a public page or in correspondence.
Pay the USD amount shown on the order page and verify the associated order.
Visa, Mastercard, and Amex are supported; all orders are still billed in USD.
Next steps
For everyday remote development and light builds, choose HireVM M4. The other tier, HireVM Pro, pairs M4 Pro / 64GB / 2TB for more concurrency headroom. Before submitting, recheck one of the five locations, add-on quantities, and the total USD amount due.
