**Short answer.** At our latest check on 15 November 2026, 16 companies with data centers in Europe and 6 in North America rent the Mac mini M4 Pro; the cheapest is [MacHive](https://machive.co.uk/), M4 Pro, 24 GB / 512 GB, £99 a month excl. VAT (about €118.48) in Europe and [Unihost](https://unihost.com/dedicated/mac-mini/), M4 Pro, 64 GB / 1 TB, $333.90 a month excl. VAT (about €302.12) in North America. The newer M5 Pro starts at [Macyou](https://macyou.co/pricing), M5 Pro, 24 GB / 512 GB, from $243 a month (about €219.87) in Europe; in North America: [Time's Lab](https://timeslab.ca/), M5 Pro, 24 GB / 512 GB, 409 CAD a month (about €259.55). At the same company, an M5 Pro usually costs about 30 % more than an M4 Pro with the same memory, and it is much harder to get in stock.

A Pro chip is the only way to get a Mac mini with more than 32 GB of memory: Apple offers the M4 Pro and the M5 Pro with 24, 48 or 64 GB, while the M4 and M6 stop at 32 GB ([Apple](https://support.apple.com/en-us/121555), [Apple](https://www.apple.com/mac-mini/specs/)). This page follows the Pro-chip plans and how they change.

Each company name links to the provider page where the price is listed. “–” means the company does not publish that billing period. “~” marks a price we calculated (hour × 24, day × 30, month × 12); every other price is listed by the company. Many providers quote prices without VAT. Always confirm on the provider’s site before ordering.

The cheapest plans are not always the ones you can order today: we count a plan as the cheapest only if it is not marked sold out or pre-order, and some cheap plans have no stock status on the page at all. GreenMini's M4 Pro price is a "from" price.

## M4 Pro vs M5 Pro: how much more it costs and how much faster it is

Comparing the cheapest M4 Pro with the cheapest M5 Pro mixes different companies, memory sizes and disks. The fair comparison is the same company with the same memory and storage:

| Company | Data centers | RAM / storage | M4 Pro | M5 Pro | M5 Pro costs | Stock (M4 Pro / M5 Pro) |
| - | - | - | - | - | - | - |
| JUUZ Cloud | Europe | 24 GB / 512 GB | €199 | €249 | 25 % more | out of stock / in stock |
| JUUZ Cloud | Europe | 48 GB / 512 GB | €319 | €339 | 6 % more | out of stock / in stock |
| MacHive | Europe | 24 GB / 512 GB | £99 | £149 | 51 % more | not stated / pre-order |
| Macyou | Europe | 24 GB / 512 GB | $200 | $243 | 22 % more | not stated / not stated |
| OakHost | Europe | 64 GB / 1 TB | €260 | €340 | 31 % more | out of stock / out of stock |
| Sayob | Europe | 48 GB / 512 GB | €299 | €289 | 3 % less | not stated / not stated |
| Mac mini Vault | North America | 64 GB / 1 TB | $274.99 | $359.99 | 31 % more | out of stock / out of stock |
| Unihost | North America | 64 GB / 1 TB | $333.90 | $449.90 | 35 % more | not stated / not stated |

At our check on 25 October 2026, the M5 Pro cost about 30–35 % more in most pairs: JUUZ Cloud at 24 GB, OakHost, Mac mini Vault and Unihost in the US. The gap was smaller at JUUZ Cloud's 48 GB plans, and Sayob charged less for its 48 GB M5 Pro than for its 48 GB M4 Pro. If you find a pair like Sayob's, the newer chip is the obvious choice; otherwise the question is whether the extra speed is worth about a third more each month.

What you get for it, according to Apple:

| | Mac mini M4 Pro (2024) | Mac mini M5 Pro (2026) |
| - | - | - |
| CPU | 12-core, configurable to 14-core | 15-core, configurable to 18-core |
| GPU | 16-core, configurable to 20-core | 16-core with Neural Accelerators, configurable to 20-core |
| Memory | 24, 48 or 64 GB | 24, 48 or 64 GB |
| Memory bandwidth | 273 GB/s | 307 GB/s |
| Source | [Apple](https://support.apple.com/en-us/121555) | [Apple](https://www.apple.com/mac-mini/specs/) |

How much faster the M5 Pro is, in published measurements:

- **iOS builds:** in XcodeBenchmark's Xcode 26 results, a MacBook Pro with an 18-core M5 Pro built the test project in 89 seconds and one with a 14-core M4 Pro in 104 seconds, about 15% faster ([XcodeBenchmark](https://github.com/devMEremenko/XcodeBenchmark)). Mac mini results with both chips exist only for different Xcode versions, which the benchmark says not to compare.
- **AI video:** the vpipe developer generated the same 5-second MiniMax H3 clip (960×544, 6 steps) in 17 min 43 s on a Mac mini M4 Pro and in 5 min 29 s on a MacBook Pro M5 Pro with a 20-core GPU, about 3.2 times faster ([vpipe](https://github.com/tgo-app-dev/vpipe/blob/main/docs/MINIMAX-H3.md)). Video and image models use the GPU's new Neural Accelerators; see [AI video on a cloud Mac mini](https://fidenubi.com/blog/cloud-mac-mini-ai-video-generation-cost/).
- **Local language models:** token speed follows memory bandwidth, 307 GB/s against 273 GB/s, so roughly 12% more ([Apple](https://www.apple.com/mac-mini/specs/)); speeds per model are in [What LLM can a Mac mini run](https://fidenubi.com/blog/what-llm-can-mac-mini-run/).

Both chips have the same memory ceiling, so the M5 Pro does not let you run anything that needs more memory than the M4 Pro. Providers rarely say how many CPU or GPU cores their plan has; if it matters, ask before ordering.

## Can you actually get an M5 Pro? Stock of Pro Macs

Of the current Mac mini chips (M4, M4 Pro, M6, M5 Pro), the M5 Pro is the hardest to rent: in Europe it has the smallest share of plans marked in stock, and in North America none of its plans is (nor any M6 plan). At our check on 15 November 2026:

- **M5 Pro, Europe:** 23 plans, 3 in stock, 3 sold out, 5 on pre-order, 12 without a stock status.
- **M5 Pro, North America:** 6 plans, 0 in stock, 2 sold out, 1 on pre-order.
- **M4 Pro, Europe:** 22 plans, 3 in stock, 4 sold out, 15 without a stock status.
- **M4 Pro, North America:** 8 plans, 1 in stock, 3 sold out, 2 on pre-order.

Stock has been getting tighter since early October. JUUZ Cloud's 24 GB and 48 GB M5 Pro plans were in stock in early October and sold out from mid-October. Mac mini Vault's 64 GB M4 Pro with 1 TB went the same way, and MacWeb's 24 GB M4 Pro moved from in stock to pre-order. MacDuty listed its three M5 Pro plans for pre-order throughout October, although its page says the 2026 Macs arrive "from 9 October" and that nothing is charged until your Mac is racked ([MacDuty](https://macduty.com/mac-mini-m6)). On 25 October the only M5 Pro plan marked in stock in our data was Sayob's 64 GB plan in Frankfurt.

## Are Pro Mac mini rental prices going up?

Yes. Between early and late October 2026, nine M4 Pro and M5 Pro plans became more expensive and none became cheaper. Eight of the increases were between 4 % and 34 %; the ninth, at Innova Hosting / iphost.online, was a fraction of a percent. Most were at JUUZ Cloud, which raised all five of its Pro plans; its 24 GB M4 Pro came back in stock on 24 October, but a quarter more expensive. In Europe:

| Company | Chip | RAM / storage | Early October 2026 | Late October 2026 | Change | Stock, Late October 2026 |
| - | - | - | - | - | - | - |
| Innova Hosting / iphost.online (M4 Pro 24GB 512GB) | M4 Pro | 24 GB / 512 GB | $200.93 | $201.43 | +$0.50 (+0.2 %) | in stock |
| JUUZ Cloud | M4 Pro | 24 GB / 512 GB | €159 | €199 | +€40 (+25.2 %) | in stock |
| JUUZ Cloud | M5 Pro | 24 GB / 512 GB | €249 | €259 | +€10 (+4.0 %) | out of stock |
| JUUZ Cloud | M4 Pro | 48 GB / 512 GB | €239 | €319 | +€80 (+33.5 %) | out of stock |
| JUUZ Cloud | M5 Pro | 48 GB / 512 GB | €299 | €349 | +€50 (+16.7 %) | out of stock |
| JUUZ Cloud | M5 Pro | 64 GB / 512 GB | €339 | €399 | +€60 (+17.7 %) | out of stock |
| OakHost (Mac M4Pro.L) | M4 Pro | 64 GB / 1 TB | €245 | €260 | +€15 (+6.1 %) | out of stock |
| Unihost (MAC-N16) | M5 Pro | 64 GB / 512 GB | €455.90 | €539 | +€83.10 (+18.2 %) | pre-order / coming soon |

In North America, MacWeb raised its 64 GB M5 Pro plan by 20 % (still on pre-order); no other Pro price changed. Rising prices, sold-out plans and long pre-orders together point to demand for Pro Macs running ahead of supply. It is a trend of a few weeks; the numbers on this page stay current.

## M4 vs M4 Pro: do you need a Pro chip, 48 or 64 GB?

A Pro chip is worth paying for when you need:

- **More than 32 GB of memory.** Only the M4 Pro and M5 Pro go to 48 or 64 GB. The cheapest plan with at least 48 GB is [My Remote Mac](https://myremotemac.com/pricing), M4 Pro, 48 GB / 1 TB, $299 a month (about €270.54) in Europe and [Unihost](https://unihost.com/dedicated/mac-mini/), M5 Pro, 48 GB / 512 GB, $319.90 a month excl. VAT (about €289.45) in North America. For larger local AI models, memory size and bandwidth matter most; see [Mac mini for OpenClaw and AI agents](https://fidenubi.com/blog/mac-mini-for-openclaw-ai-agents/), and check a specific model with our [local LLM calculator](https://fidenubi.com/blog/which-mac-mini-for-local-llm/).
- **More CPU cores.** 12 to 18 cores against 10 for the M4 and 12 for the M6 help with large parallel builds.
- **More memory bandwidth.** 273 GB/s (M4 Pro) and 307 GB/s (M5 Pro) against 120 GB/s for the M4 and up to 170 GB/s for the M6.

If 24 or 32 GB is enough, you probably do not need a Pro: the cheapest plan with at least 24 GB is [My Remote Mac](https://myremotemac.com/pricing), M4, 24 GB / 512 GB, $129 a month (about €116.72) in Europe and [HostMyApple](https://www.hostmyapple.com/dedicated-mac-hosting), M6, 32 GB / 256 GB, $179.99 a month (about €162.86) in North America. For the newest standard chip see [Rent a Mac mini M6 in Europe](https://fidenubi.com/blog/rent-mac-mini-m6-cloud-europe/); for US providers, [Rent a Mac mini in the US](https://fidenubi.com/blog/rent-mac-mini-cloud-usa/).

## What to check before renting a Pro Mac mini

- **Memory and storage together.** Pro plans start at 512 GB of storage; check whether the plan you compare comes with 512 GB, 1 TB or 2 TB, because that alone can explain a large part of a price difference.
- **The exact chip.** Some providers write "M4 Pro" without saying the core count. Apple sells both chips in two versions (12 or 14 cores for the M4 Pro, 15 or 18 for the M5 Pro).
- **Stock and pre-order terms.** Most M5 Pro plans are sold out or on pre-order. Check when you are charged and when the Mac will be ready.
- **VAT.** Most European prices are listed without VAT; many US providers do not say whether tax is added.
- **Setup fees.** Some providers add a one-time setup fee that our monthly prices do not include (for example Unihost on several US plans).

## How do we collect these prices?

Every price comes from the provider's public page. Plans that do not match Apple's official Mac mini configurations (for example a "Mac mini" with an M5 Max, which Apple sells only in the Mac Studio) are left out. More in [how we collect data](https://fidenubi.com/how-we-collect-data/). The full lists are in the [Europe](https://fidenubi.com/blog/cloud-mac-mini-rental-prices-europe/) and [North America](https://fidenubi.com/blog/cloud-mac-mini-rental-prices-americas/) price comparisons.

## Frequently asked questions

### Where can I rent a Mac mini M4 Pro in the cloud?

At our check on 25 October 2026, eleven companies with data centers in Europe and five with data centers in North America listed the Mac mini M4 Pro, among them GreenMini, JUUZ Cloud, OakHost, Roundfleet, Sayob and Scaleway in Europe and Mac mini Vault, MacStadium, MacWeb, QuickServers and Unihost in the US. Stock varies, so check the provider's page before ordering.

### Is the M5 Pro worth it over the M4 Pro for a cloud Mac?

Only if you need the extra speed. Apple lists the M5 Pro with a 15- to 18-core CPU and 307 GB/s memory bandwidth, against 12 to 14 cores and 273 GB/s for the M4 Pro; both go up to 64 GB of memory. At our check on 25 October 2026, the same company usually charged about 30 % more for an M5 Pro with the same memory and storage, and M5 Pro plans were much harder to get in stock.

### Can I rent a Mac mini with 64 GB of memory?

Yes, but only with a Pro chip: Apple offers 64 GB on the Mac mini with M4 Pro or M5 Pro, while the M4 and M6 stop at 32 GB. At our check on 25 October 2026, eight companies with data centers in Europe and four in North America listed 64 GB plans.

### Is the Mac mini M5 Pro available to rent right now?

Hardly. At our check on 25 October 2026, one of 17 M5 Pro plans with a European data center and none of 5 in North America were marked in stock; the rest were sold out, on pre-order or showed no stock status. Several providers take pre-orders.

### Do I need a Pro chip for a cloud Mac?

Not for most compiling, testing and CI work. A Pro chip makes sense when you need more than 32 GB of memory, more CPU cores for parallel builds, or more memory bandwidth for larger local AI models. Up to 32 GB, a Mac mini with M4 or M6 is usually cheaper.
