Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Atlas | Eigent | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 7.5 | 6.3 | Atlas — Atlas is for you if you want to orchestrate multiple agents and trace their work back to commits, but you must be comfortable with its all-in-one editor approach. |
| El Crítico | 6.0 | 5.8 | Atlas — Atlas executes agents without a sandbox, making it a security risk for any codebase that is not disposable. |
| El Profesor | 5.5 | 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 | 5.8 | 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 | 5.5 | 5.0 | Atlas — A local-first agent harness with team features but no enterprise controls; not yet ready for procurement. |
| El Hacker | 7.5 | 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. |
