What is Galaxy, and what key features set it apart from Hex?

Galaxy is the developer-first replacement for Briefer—featuring a powerful SQL editor, AI-assisted queries, real-time collaboration, version control, and blazing fast performance, all designed with devs in mind.
Which product offers a better user experience for developers?

Briefer leans toward analysts and no-code workflows. Galaxy is built from the ground up for developers and data engineers who need fast iteration, full schema awareness, and clean SQL output.
What integrations and data sources does Galaxy support that Hex doesn't?

Galaxy supports modern and legacy systems alike: PostgreSQL, DuckDB, BigQuery, Snowflake, Pinecone, Slack, Notion, and more—while Briefer has limited connectors optimized for light BI use cases.
Does Galaxy offer a free trial or demo, and how can I get started?

Galaxy is totally free to use with incremental premium tiers for additional AI usage, sharing, and more :)
Can non technical users use Galaxy?

Yes. Galaxy’s interface is intuitive enough for non-technical teammates, while still powerful enough for developers. Our Telescope mode even allows business users to get AI help without touching code.
What community and support options does Galaxy have available?

We built Galaxy as our love letter to developers, data practitioners, and more who have been stuck years in the past with tools that are old, clunky, and have failed to evolve with the times. Galaxy has a strong community of users across multiple pockets of the internet.
