Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Brigade | Tutti | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.5 | 6.0 | Brigade — Brigade is a powerful self-hosted agent framework for tinkerers, but its lack of a sandbox makes it a risky choice for production workflows. |
| El Crítico | 5.8 | 5.0 | Brigade — Brigade claims agentic behavior but lacks a sandbox, exposing the host system to any code the agents decide to run. |
| El Profesor | 4.5 | 5.8 | Tutti — MCP appears in both directions and only in the in-repository architecture notes, not the README, so the protocol story is real and effectively undocumented for readers. |
| La Inversora | 5.0 | 5.3 | Tutti — A permissive local edition free forever beside an invite-gated cloud tier with no price is open core before anyone has decided what the core is worth. |
| La Jefa | 4.3 | 5.0 | Tutti — Free at sixty seats and macOS and Windows only, with no headless mode, so my Linux engineers are excluded and nothing here reaches a pipeline. |
| El Hacker | 8.0 | 6.8 | Brigade — Brigade is a proper self-hosted agent harness, offering real ownership with its MIT license, MCP support, and broad model compatibility. |
