I live in an apartment that provides WiFi that has MAC address whitelisting with a cost per MAC address slot.
What hardware/software can I use to connect to their network and rebroadcast in a new network so that all my devices can connect but the WiFi provider only sees one MAC address connecting?

You need a wifi router. Connect the wan to your network. One mac, wan doesn’t know about your devices.

And the WiFi router has to not be configured as a bridge device. It has to be it’s own DHCP provider.

This ^. That way you have complete control over SSID, connected devices, passwords etc, and you apartment block only sees a single MAC address (WAN).

Connect using 2.4GHz, create own network with the 5GHz antenna?

Are there any routers that support this feature natively?

You could install Fresh Tomato firmware on any supported router and do this using wireless client mode: https://wiki.freshtomato.org/doku.php/advanced_scenarios
