MacinCloud does do not provide service base on a monthly plan, Plan is based on the hour. Means if you need Mac OS for 1 hour you need to pay $1.

But if we talk about privacy then I will not recommend this Method, because if you’re going to use Xcode. Then basically you’re creating software on someone’s else computer.
