Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Codegen | SourceCraft Code Assistant | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 1.8 | 5.3 | SourceCraft Code Assistant — Pick this only if you already build and deploy on this vendor's cloud; pick GitLab Duo if you want the same one-platform story somewhere your team can actually buy it. |
| El Crítico | 2.0 | 4.8 | SourceCraft Code Assistant — The advertised flow ends with the agent triggering a deployment, and nothing published describes a human gate between the generated change and production. |
| El Profesor | 3.5 | 4.5 | SourceCraft Code Assistant — The agent generates the tests for the code it just wrote, which is not verification: it is the same model asserting its own output twice. |
| La Inversora | 2.0 | 5.8 | SourceCraft Code Assistant — Tariffs are published on the platform in the vendor's own currency, which tells you the buyer this was built for, and it is a regional one. |
| La Jefa | 2.0 | 3.8 | SourceCraft Code Assistant — There is no dollar list price to multiply by sixty, the code lives on the vendor's cloud, and the data residency answer is a jurisdiction rather than a policy. |
| El Hacker | 2.0 | 2.8 | SourceCraft Code Assistant — Proprietary, browser-only, no key of mine, no protocol to speak to, no source to read, and the model is not even named. |
