Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Blackbox AI | Command Code | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 5.3 | 6.3 | Command Code — Pick this if you want an agent that adapts to how you write rather than how the vendor thinks you should; pick Aider if you would rather configure it yourself and be done. |
| El Crítico | 4.8 | 5.5 | Command Code — The unattended path carries a --yolo flag, and the same tool commits to worktrees and opens pull requests, so a bad run does not stop at the filesystem. |
| El Profesor | 5.5 | 5.3 | Blackbox AI — Plan mode exposes ordered steps you can approve, comment on or rewrite before any change applies, and the -p flag reuses the same loop headless; no benchmark is published. |
| La Inversora | 5.3 | 5.0 | Blackbox AI — The public pricing page lists only annual per-token enterprise commitments with 5 to 10% discounts, no seats and no platform fee; a company selling inference, not a coding tool. |
| La Jefa | 4.0 | 4.8 | Command Code — Twenty dollars a month across sixty engineers is $1,200 before the meter, and the row lists no SSO, no provisioning and no audit log to put in front of security. |
| El Hacker | 4.8 | 5.0 | Command Code — The npm package declares UNLICENSED and publishes no repository URL, so I get MCP servers and hackable skills inside a box I am not allowed to open. |
