Our take
Pick Hex if solo analysts who will stay on Community $0 (small compute, agent trial), then buy Professional at $36/Editor/month when they need Medium compute, Standard agent credits, and 30-day history. Pick Wren AI if data teams who will spend the 7-day Cloud trial, then pay Essential Cloud at $179/month billed annually (13,200 credits/year) instead of buying a per-seat BI copilot.
