Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Cody | Fitten Code | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 4.8 | 6.0 | Fitten Code — Pick it if you want capable completion at no cost and your code is not sensitive; pick CodeGeeX when you want a similar deal with a published model behind it. |
| El Crítico | 4.3 | 4.8 | Fitten Code — Execution is hosted with no local option recorded on this row, so every character of context you generate leaves the machine to be completed. |
| El Profesor | 5.3 | 5.5 | Fitten Code — Project context understanding and multi-step task decomposition are both asserted, and the vendor does not document explicit multi-file diffs or any selection method. |
| La Inversora | 5.3 | 4.8 | Cody — Ending Free and Pro and archiving the public source is the tell: Cody is now a feature of Sourcegraph Enterprise, and its future is the future of code search. |
| La Jefa | 5.8 | 4.8 | Cody — If Sourcegraph Enterprise is already on the invoice, Cody is a free feature of it; if not, a $16K minimum for an assistant is not a purchase I would make. |
| El Hacker | 3.3 | 3.5 | Fitten Code — One vendor model, no key of my own, nothing local, no tool protocol and no source. There is not a single surface here I can change. |
