Visit Hex →About Hex
Hex is a collaborative data notebook and app-building platform that combines SQL and Python notebooks with AI-powered assistance, enabling analytics teams to build data analysis workflows and publish interactive apps from a single tool. Unlike traditional Jupyter notebooks, Hex is designed for team collaboration — multiple users can work in the same notebook simultaneously, with version control, sharing, and presentation built in.
Hex now leads with an AI agent, referred to on its pricing page as the Hex agent, which is available for trial even on the free Community plan and assists with SQL generation, Python code, chart configuration, and explaining queries. The platform connects to data warehouses including Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, and Redshift, and supports notebooks with mixed SQL/Python cells that share a data environment.
Key capabilities include collaborative SQL and Python notebooks, an AI agent for code generation and explanation, interactive app publishing, connections to major data warehouses, versioning, scheduling for automated notebook runs, and GPU compute for ML workloads billed by the hour.
Pricing: the Community tier is free and includes a Hex agent trial, connection to any data source, all cell types, small compute, up to three shared collections and components, and seven-day version history. The Professional plan is $36 per Editor per month, and the Team plan is $75 per Editor per month. Enterprise pricing is custom and includes an optional Explorer seat add-on. GPU compute is billed separately: A10G GPU at $4.06 per hour and L4 GPU at $2.93 per hour.
Limitations: Enterprise pricing requires contacting sales, which complicates upfront budget planning. GPU compute adds further variable cost on top of seat pricing. The Community free tier's small compute and limited shared collections make it best suited to individual trial use rather than full team rollout.
Best suited for analytics and data science teams at growth-stage and enterprise companies who want collaborative notebook tooling with AI assistance and the ability to publish interactive apps for business stakeholders.
- Real-time collaborative notebooks — multiple users simultaneously
- Built-in Hex agent for AI-assisted SQL and Python generation and explanation, trialable on the free plan
- Published apps let non-technical stakeholders interact with outputs without code access
- Connects to Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, and Redshift
- GPU compute available for ML workloads at published hourly rates (A10G $4.06/hr, L4 $2.93/hr)
- Community free tier is limited to small compute and only three shared collections/components, suited to individual trial use rather than full team collaboration
- Enterprise pricing is custom and requires contacting sales
- GPU compute for ML workloads is billed separately by the hour, adding to total cost beyond seat pricing
- Enterprise plans use an additional Explorer seat add-on separate from standard Editor seats, adding complexity to budgeting
