--- canonical: "https://www.softatlas.io/stacks/benchmark/hexa" name: "The Hexa stack" cohort: "Hexa" companies_listed: 49 companies_in_atlas: 49 benchmark_companies: 45 distinct_tools: 197 updated: "2026-10-16" --- # The Hexa stack ## What this measures Discover the software and AI tools used by companies built with Hexa, the venture studio behind 50+ companies including Front, Spendesk, and Aircall.. Of the 49 on the list, 49 exist as a Soft Atlas organization and 45 have at least one tool identified. **Every percentage below is a share of the full 49**, including the 4 Soft Atlas has no tool for. Every figure is therefore a minimum: it can only understate how many of the cohort run a tool, never overstate it. A tool is counted for a company only when a source recorded it: a job posting naming it, a vendor listing the company as a customer, Soft Atlas market research, or an employee with a verified work email. It is counted once per company even when several sources agree. An area with no tool means Soft Atlas identified none, not that the company runs none. **Where the data comes from.** Vendors' customer references / Recent job postings / Social networks / What Soft Atlas members declare / Interviews / Companies and vendors themselves. **Minimum (never a ceiling).** Every figure is a minimum: the real share of companies using a tool can be higher, never lower. **One sub-category per tool.** Each solution is filed under one sub-category, the one of its core business, and that is where it is counted with all its customers. A suite covering several needs, say HRIS, payroll and learning, therefore appears once in a benchmark, even when its offer is broader. ## Most adopted tools 20 of 49 companies, 5 tools identified. - [Anthropic](https://www.softatlas.io/anthropic), 39% (19 companies), rated 4.9/5 on Soft Atlas (21 reviews) - Used by: Catalog, Forest, Marble, Tandem, Yousign - [Amazon Web Services (AWS)](https://www.softatlas.io/amazon-web-services-inc), 31% (15 companies), rated 3.5/5 on Soft Atlas (2 reviews) - Used by: Catalog, Fabriq, Forest, Panora, Zenvest - [Cloudflare](https://www.softatlas.io/cloudflare-inc), 31% (15 companies), rated 5/5 on Soft Atlas (1 review) - Used by: Plato, Probo, Roundtable, Veevart, Verso - [Notion](https://www.softatlas.io/notion-labs-inc), 31% (15 companies), rated 4.7/5 on Soft Atlas (19 reviews) - Used by: Annette, Basalt, Swan, Upflow, Yousign - [Webflow](https://www.softatlas.io/webflow), 31% (15 companies) - Used by: Cycle, Radiant, Roundtable, Swan, Tengo ## IT & Infrastructure 35 of 49 companies, 10 tools identified.
