Free tier	Community is free and includes Small compute: 4 GB and 0.5 CPU, billed per minute of usage; scheduled runs and alerts are a Team feature at USD 75 per editor per month unit hours; metered on wall-clock; The compute table marks Extra small, Small and Medium as Free per hour, but the plan tables grant Community 'Small compute' only.
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not applicable: the unit is a session, not an object
Retention	7-day version history on Community (7 days)
Egress	no egress allowance or price published
Identity	email a free Community account; the trial needs no payment card, and the pricing page states no card for Community
Limits	volume-quota Small compute only: 4 GB RAM, 0.5 CPU; no scheduled runs on Community source retention-clamped 7-day version history on Community, 30-day on Professional source
Binding	volume-quota half a CPU and 4 GB is the hard ceiling, and there is no scheduler to spend it unattended
Interface	rest, cli a browser notebook with SQL and Python cells
Tooling	the web editor; scheduled runs need Team
Composes with	a collaborative analysis notebook; not a compute provider for a scheduled job
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	Half a CPU makes Hex the weakest compute on raw capacity, and no hour cap is published. What would settle the cap is one sustained run against the account's usage meter.
Evidence rung	documented compute profiles and the scheduled-runs gating are quoted from the pricing page today. No monthly hour cap is published, which is the gap.

Hex Storage

Free tier	Community (free): small compute only — 2 GB / 4 GB / 8 GB RAM profiles at $0/hr. No storage allocation published; there is no user-writable persistent disk, only data connections. unit GB; metered on stored-bytes
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	No published meter; the model is 'bring your own warehouse', so bytes never live with Hex.
Identity	card derived from the record's prose, not from an identity field, and no signup was executed: e): small compute only — 2 GB / 4 GB / 8 GB RAM profiles at $0/hr. No storage allocation published; there is no user-writable persistent disk, only data connections. Not a storage
Binding	none no constraint of a named kind was recorded; the verdict rests on the quota sentence rather than on a named limit
Interface	graphql graphql
Tooling	Hex API + MCP server; data comes from connected warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Postgres), not from Hex storage.
Composes with	None — Hex is a query layer. Whatever storage you use, you must already own.
Reliability	Not a storage provider in any sense. Recorded to close the branch.
