Hex Review
Hex is a collaborative data workspace that combines SQL notebooks, Python, and AI-powered agentic analytics for data teams.
Verdict
Hex is a well-established player in the modern data stack, competing with Mode, Deepnote, and Observable. Its standout feature is an AI Notebook Agent that can autonomously write and run analysis code, which helped customers like Mercor surface $100M in revenue insights. The main tradeoff is that it's purpose-built for data professionals — analysts and data scientists — and carries enterprise-tier pricing that puts it out of reach for casual users.
