Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Bito AI Code Review Agent | Tusk | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.8 | 6.0 | Bito AI Code Review Agent — Pick Bito if your code lives on Bitbucket or self-managed GitLab and you want static analysis findings folded into the same review; pick CodeRabbit on GitHub. |
| El Crítico | 5.8 | 5.3 | Bito AI Code Review Agent — The meter is reviewed lines: 5K per seat per month, then $5 per extra thousand, so a regenerated lockfile or a vendored dependency bills like a feature. |
| El Profesor | 5.8 | 5.8 | no preference |
| La Inversora | 6.0 | 6.8 | Tusk — A free individual tier feeding a team plan, with a 200-seat minimum on the enterprise contract, tells you exactly which customer the model is built around. |
| La Jefa | 6.3 | 6.3 | no preference |
| El Hacker | 3.8 | 4.0 | Tusk — Proprietary, undisclosed model, no key of mine and no weights on my machine; the one thing I get is a command-line entry point I can drive from a script. |
