Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | AutoGPT | holaOS | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 5.8 | 5.5 | AutoGPT — Pick AutoGPT if the job is a scheduled workflow across Gmail, Slack and Jira built in a block editor; pick goose or Claude Code if the job is code, because this one never touches a file. |
| El Crítico | 5.3 | 5.3 | no preference |
| El Profesor | 5.5 | 5.5 | no preference |
| La Inversora | 5.8 | 5.5 | AutoGPT — Significant Gravitas pivoted from the agent that started the category to a workflow platform priced at $42.50 and $272 a month, billed annually, with credits on top. |
| La Jefa | 4.8 | 4.5 | AutoGPT — Sixty seats need the Team tier with admin roles and centralized billing, and that tier is marked coming soon, so today it is sixty individual subscriptions and a credit wallet. |
| El Hacker | 6.0 | 6.8 | holaOS — It calls itself Apache-2.0 with additional terms, which means source-available, not open source, and GitHub's detector agrees by refusing to name it. |
