Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | AgentHub | OpenCovibe | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 7.3 | 6.8 | AgentHub — Pick it if you review agent diffs all day and run several sessions at once; pick tmux if your habits already live in the terminal. |
| El Crítico | 6.3 | 6.3 | no preference |
| El Profesor | 6.8 | 7.0 | OpenCovibe — Session state is treated as navigable rather than linear: runs can be replayed, resumed or forked, and a checkpoint rewind returns the workspace to an earlier point. |
| La Inversora | 6.0 | 6.0 | no preference |
| La Jefa | 6.3 | 5.8 | AgentHub — Free across sixty seats and disqualified for most of them: it ships for macOS only, so this is a tool for an all-Apple team or for nobody. |
| El Hacker | 7.3 | 8.0 | OpenCovibe — Apache-2.0, tool servers managed inside the app, and built-in presets point the agent at a compatible gateway or a local runtime and hot-switch it without a restart. |
