In their own words
Dolt
Dolt is a SQL database for managing data with version-control operations. Users can fork, clone, branch, merge, push and pull databases, then inspect commits, compare diffs, resolve SQL conflicts and revert commits. It can be connected to like a MySQL database or deployed as a versioned MySQL replica. DoltHub hosts public data and provides a web interface for editing and pull-request review; databases are public by default, with private databases available to Pro users or organizations. DoltLab is a self-hosted option for running DoltHub on a private network or development machine. Connector libraries include JDBC, Perl DBI, MySQL Connector/Python and Go sqlx/database/sql; listed framework integrations include Django, SQLAlchemy, Prisma, Laravel, Hibernate, GORM, Rails and FastAPI. Hosted Dolt includes a web SQL workbench, nightly full backups retained for 14 days, and AWS and GCP private networking. Dolt is free and open source. DoltHub Pro is $5 a month; a Hosted Dolt trial instance is $50 a month.
