Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Auggie CLI | Rovo Dev | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.8 | 6.5 | Auggie CLI — Pick it if your company already runs Augment in the editor and you want that context in a terminal; pick Claude Code if you are choosing from scratch. |
| El Crítico | 5.8 | 5.8 | no preference |
| El Profesor | 6.0 | 6.3 | Rovo Dev — No benchmark; the architecture is a router across hosted OpenAI, Anthropic and Google models with the agent surfaced as an extension of the Atlassian CLI. |
| La Inversora | 6.8 | 7.3 | Rovo Dev — Atlassian owns the ticket and the repo, and it is rolling free Rovo Dev credits into Jira Cloud plans, which is distribution being used as a weapon. |
| La Jefa | 6.3 | 7.0 | Rovo Dev — Sixty Standard seats is $1,200 a month before overage, the models run under zero-data-retention terms, and there is a 30-day trial, which is the right shape for a pilot. |
| El Hacker | 4.3 | 3.8 | Auggie CLI — Proprietary, and the row says I cannot bring my own key or my own model, so the only thing I get to configure is which of their models loses. |
