Pennylane is arguably the most QML-focused library. It features:

Google’s quantum team offers Cirq (open-source framework) and a free Quantum Virtual Machine (QVM) simulator that mimics their Sycamore-class processors.

IBM is the pioneer of cloud quantum computing. Their IBM Quantum Platform is the most mature and education-friendly free tier.

Pennylane is a quantum machine learning library that integrates with many hardware backends. Xanadu also offers Pennylane Cloud – a free simulator with GPU acceleration.

Here is a review of the top free cloud-based Quantum Machine Learning services, categorized by their usefulness for ML practitioners.
