I’m trying to compare this to mcfly, which does that, and also uses a sqlite db

If you like searching your Bash history with fzf, you're gonna love McFly: https://github.com/cantino/mcfly
There's also McFly which does the same thing.

I've only used McFly and found it to be pretty great. My only complaint is the default search mode is SQL strings, so you have to use `%` for wildcards. I wish it was a more forgiving, less exact search.

Has anyone used both and could compare them?

McFly[1] is a terminal history search replacement that is more context aware. The only downside is I am probably not memorizing the commands I use as much as I should.

Flycut[2] has certainly saved me a lot of time and changed the way I write code. Have a good clipboard history has really changed my flow.

I have been using Atuin for sometime, but I must say, though that looks cool, the fuzzy search results out-of-the-box are useless to me.

I used to use something before, probably McFly, that had way better search results.

As far as control-R command history searching, really enjoying McFly https://github.com/cantino/mcfly
I've been loving mcfly[0], a history search that can be bound to . It makes suggestions based on your current directory as well as your command history.
