  It seems that the difference is that you won't need to set up a DB server, maintain it, and keep feeding transaction data from Stripe into it. While this may not be terribly complex, it opens up the chance to run SQL on your business data without building or maintaining the pipeline itself for SMBs which may have limited resources.

  Great question. Sigma is more than an rdbms, relational database. Sigma is an application where you can save and share reports with your team without the need to setup a dedicated ETL pipeline and engineering teams. We curate the quality of the data for you so you don't have to yourself. Hope that helps!
