“There is a public instance at app.warren.run, which is a generous offer from someone who knows exactly what agents cost to run.”

Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Agyn | Warren | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.0 | 7.5 | Warren — Pick it when an agent run needs a ceiling on what it can spend; pick Sandbox Agent if you only need the agent exposed and will supervise it yourself. |
| El Crítico | 6.0 | 6.8 | Warren — The documentation advertises watchdogs that reconcile lost processes and pods, and finalization that salvages work before teardown, which describes what happens without them. |
| El Profesor | 7.3 | 7.3 | no preference |
| La Inversora | 5.8 | 5.8 | no preference |
| La Jefa | 7.0 | 6.3 | Agyn — Zero licence cost across sixty seats, with role-based access, single sign-on and audit logs in the product, and spend caps set per agent, per team and per organisation. |
| El Hacker | 7.8 | 7.5 | Agyn — AGPL-3.0 means a fork outlives the vendor, the chart installs from an OCI registry with helm, and the provider keys stay mine because I am the one supplying them. |
