ContextBase or Hex

Hex is a collaborative workspace where data teams build analyses in SQL and Python, with AI built in. ContextBase does a different job: it writes down what your team knows about the data, and gives everyone checked answers from it.

Three reasons teams add ContextBase

  • A different job

    Hex is where analysts build. ContextBase is where what they know gets approved, so every answer, dashboard, and agent starts from it.

    Key benefitAnalysts keep their notebooks. Everyone else gets checked answers.

  • No seat fees

    Everyone on your team gets access, and their questions are always free. You pay for the data you connect.

    Key benefitNobody waits for a license to ask a question.

  • Built for healthcare data

    ContextBase reads QNXT, Facets, HealthEdge, and the feeds a plan runs, with HITRUST i1, SOC 2 Type 2, and a BAA.

    Key benefitThe quirks of payer data, written down and approved.

Hex and ContextBase do different jobs. Hex is a strong place for analysts to build in SQL and Python. ContextBase holds what your team knows about the data: the definitions, the pitfalls, and the rules in your code. Everyone gets answers from that knowledge, under their own access, and every answer is checked.

Product names and logos belong to their owners. The description of Hex is from its public materials, October 2026.
