Hex pricing
Hex publishes 4 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.
As of 29 August 2026, Hex pricing is free, then $36/month across 4 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

Hex plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Community | Free | 4 | Entry tier |
| Professional | $36/month | 6 | +$36/month, 6 more features |
| Team | $75/month | 8 | +$39/month, 8 more features |
| Enterprise | On request | 11 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Hex are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for Hex
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 4 tiers between Free and On request, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Hex runs on web, slack, and is published by Hex Technologies Inc of San Francisco, CA. The full record is on the Hex review, and the rest of the category is under best business intelligence tools.
