SQLAlchemy vs DBFlow: What are the differences?

Developers describe SQLAlchemy as "The Python SQL Toolkit and Object Relational Mapper". SQLAlchemy is the Python SQL toolkit and Object Relational Mapper that gives application developers the full power and flexibility of SQL. On the other hand, DBFlow is detailed as "*Simple ORM android database library *". It is fast, efficient, and feature-rich Kotlin database library built on SQLite for Android. It utilizes annotation processing to generate SQLite boilerplate for you and provides a powerful SQLite query language that makes using SQLite a joy.

SQLAlchemy and DBFlow belong to "Object Relational Mapper (ORM)" category of the tech stack.

SQLAlchemy and DBFlow are both open source tools. DBFlow with 4.67K GitHub stars and 597 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than SQLAlchemy with 3.37K GitHub stars and 890 GitHub forks.

What are some alternatives to DBFlow and SQLAlchemy?
Realm
The Realm Mobile Platform is a next-generation data layer for applications. Realm is reactive, concurrent, and lightweight, allowing you to work with live, native objects.
SQLite
SQLite is an embedded SQL database engine. Unlike most other SQL databases, SQLite does not have a separate server process. SQLite reads and writes directly to ordinary disk files. A complete SQL database with multiple tables, indices, triggers, and views, is contained in a single disk file.
GreenDAO
It is an open source Android ORM making development for SQLite databases fun again. It relieves developers from dealing with low-level database requirements while saving development time.
Hibernate
Hibernate is a suite of open source projects around domain models. The flagship project is Hibernate ORM, the Object Relational Mapper.
Prisma
Prisma is an open-source database toolkit. It replaces traditional ORMs and makes database access easy with an auto-generated query builder for TypeScript & Node.js.
