IDA Decompilers: Clear Pseudocode for Binary Analysis
While IDA Pro supports 60+ processor disassemblers by default, you can also get access to 11 types of extremely specialized decompilers, each tailored to a different hardware platform—from PC and ARM to MIPS.

The two other answers here are outdated.
From hex-rays website, in the page about the the hex-rays decompiler:
Currently the decompiler supports compiler generated code for the x86, x64, ARM32, ARM64, and PowerPC processors. We plan to port it to other platforms and add a programmatic API. This will allow our customers to implement their own analysis methods. Vulnerability search, software validation, coverage analysis are the directions that immediately come to mind.
On 2014/06/04, with the release of IDA 6.6 hex-rays officially released their 64bit x86 decompiler, and it has been steadily improved since then. The official release can be seen on IDA 6.6 page as the first new feature as well as on their changelog.
It is a separate product and sold apart from their x86 32bit decompiler, and is currently quoted at the same price as the other decompilers (see price quotes page for named licenses).
More than two years after the first release, the decompiler is fully featured and is considered high-grade.

Other solutions
There are, however, other solutions that provide an IDA plugin for decompilation. Although not precisely what you were looking for, those provide another possible way to achieve your desired goal:
- Snowman, A full-blown decompiler with an IDA plugin
- a plugin for AVG's Retargetable Decompiler online decompiler (Mentioned by @ws)
- A python-only IDA decompiler plugin called ida-decompiler (Mentioned by @0xea)

As far as I know, IDA Hex-ray plugin supports only x86 and ARM decompiling (if you have a licence for ARM). It doesn't work on x86_64.
However, if you need something that will work on x86_64 take a look at ida-decompiler:
An IDA plugin that attempts to decompile a function. Written in Python. To try it in IDA, place your cursor on a function, and execute the plugin. The decompiled function will appear in the output window.
Obviously, it's not as advanced as Hex-Rays, but it's a good step toward a good, open decompiler.

June 18, 2024 - As of the time of writing (May 2021), the decompiler is not included with the standard IDA Pro license; some editions of IDA Home and IDA Free include a cloud decompiler, but the offline version requires IDA Pro and must be purchased separately.

October 25, 2023 -
Hey,
I want to decompile and disassemble ARM64 code (I think). IDA PRO is toooo expensive for someone who just started to do bug hunting at home.
Can you suggest a free one?
I tried to work with Ghidra, god, its UI is really bad :(
BTW, Im working with mac m1

Ghidra is ugly but it works well. Rizin/Cutter is pretty good

Use the free version you can still use decompiler. Why do you need the decompiler anyway assembly is really easy to read. Look for forks aka jumps and compares those are if statements. Look at function calls you see a strcmp And things being moved into rsi and rdx before the call? Yeah thats your strings being passed into arguments for strcmp. Its really simple to read i don't even use pro or ghidra I use free IDA thats all you need really.
