Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Composio | Sim | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 7.3 | 6.5 | Composio — Pick Composio when your agent has to act as each individual user in Gmail or Jira; pick n8n if you want the workflow around those actions as well. |
| El Crítico | 6.8 | 5.8 | Composio — It sits in the authentication path for every application it connects, so one incident there is one incident across every integration you shipped, at once. |
| El Profesor | 6.5 | 6.8 | Sim — Three authoring surfaces, canvas, conversation and code, produce one underlying graph, and context is supplied from attached knowledge bases, tables and file storage rather than improvised. |
| La Inversora | 7.3 | 6.5 | Composio — A $29 plan that includes $29 of usage is a subscription disguised as a meter, and the real moat is the accumulated authorisation between their service and your users. |
| La Jefa | 6.5 | 5.8 | Composio — There is no seat price to multiply; the meter is 100K tool calls free and $0.0003 after that, which is a forecast rather than a budget line. |
| El Hacker | 6.8 | 7.8 | Sim — Apache-2.0, npx sim-setup puts it on my own box with Docker, local model endpoints work, and it speaks MCP as a client, which is the whole checklist. |
Picks are derived from each critic's own scores. Humans vote on matchups on the duels page.
