Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | CodeAnt AI | Qodo | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.3 | 6.5 | Qodo — Qodo is the review bot for a team that already has written rules and a lead who wants a dashboard; if you only want comments on your PRs, CodeRabbit is cheaper and simpler. |
| El Crítico | 5.8 | 5.8 | no preference |
| El Profesor | 5.5 | 5.8 | Qodo — Qodo publishes no benchmark for its review quality, so its governance features are documented while its central claim, that it reviews well, is only asserted. |
| La Inversora | 6.0 | 6.8 | Qodo — Qodo is selling governance to the buyer who signs the invoice rather than the developer who reads the comment, which is the correct customer and a crowded one. |
| La Jefa | 6.0 | 6.5 | Qodo — Qodo is built for the meeting where legal asks who reviewed what, but SSO and on-prem are Enterprise-only at custom pricing, so budget the sales call before the seats. |
| El Hacker | 4.3 | 3.8 | CodeAnt AI — Closed, hosted, no key of my own and no protocol support, so my only local footholds are the editor plugin and the CLI. |
