The Verdict

Macly is a great platform — for iOS developers. It's optimized for Xcode builds, CI/CD pipelines, and app testing. But it wasn't built for AI agents.

Mac4Claw is purpose-built for OpenClaw. Tailscale VPN for secure access, Telegram-based monitoring, setup guides specific to AI agent workflows, and pricing optimized for 24/7 always-on usage — not short CI jobs.

If you're building iOS apps, use Macly. If you're running AI agents, use Mac4Claw.
