Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Bito AI Code Review Agent | Gitar | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.8 | 6.8 | no preference |
| El Crítico | 5.8 | 5.8 | no preference |
| El Profesor | 5.8 | 6.5 | Gitar — Verification is delegated to the pipeline rather than asserted, which is the correct design, though nothing is published about how the loop terminates. |
| La Inversora | 6.0 | 7.0 | Gitar — The ownership question is already answered: Gitar is joining Sonar, so this is now a feature inside a code-quality suite rather than a standalone bet. |
| La Jefa | 6.3 | 6.5 | Gitar — Core is $20 and Pro $40 per user per month, so sixty engineers is $1,200 or $2,400 before anything else, and self-hosted code hosting is Enterprise only. |
| El Hacker | 3.8 | 4.0 | Gitar — Proprietary, cloud-only, and the bring-your-own-LLM-key line is an Enterprise feature, so the one knob I care about is behind a sales call. |
