Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | AionUi | Eigent | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.8 | 6.3 | AionUi — Pick AionUi if Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI are already installed and you want them in one window with file previews; pick Claude Squad if you want the same thing in a terminal. |
| El Crítico | 6.0 | 5.8 | AionUi — Team Mode puts every agent in the same folder with its own permission dialog, and silent teammates are auto-escalated to failed; the per-agent approval badge is the part done right. |
| El Profesor | 6.0 | 6.3 | Eigent — It is built on the CAMEL-AI framework and the agents share context rather than exchanging messages, a choice that saves tokens and couples their failures together. |
| La Inversora | 5.3 | 6.0 | Eigent — A free tier where the user brings the key costs the company nothing to run, and the credit tiers above it are priced so the unit rate falls as you commit more. |
| La Jefa | 5.3 | 5.0 | AionUi — An Electron app on sixty laptops with cron jobs that keep the machine awake, a WebUI with password or QR login and no SSO, data in a local SQLite file, and support in a Discord. |
| El Hacker | 6.8 | 7.8 | Eigent — Apache-2.0, git clone and npm run dev from source, vLLM or Ollama or LM Studio for local weights, my own keys, and MCP servers wired in. |
