Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Anything | Softgen | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 5.0 | 5.5 | Softgen — Pick Softgen if you want the app to land in a GitHub repo and a Vercel project you own from the first prompt; pick Lovable if you would rather the builder host it for you. |
| El Crítico | 4.3 | 4.8 | Softgen — Softgen Labs is a small single vendor whose capabilities page still marks third-party integrations as in progress, and the tool cannot run tests or open a browser to check what it built. |
| El Profesor | 3.5 | 4.5 | Softgen — Generation targets Next.js with Supabase or Firebase for data and auth, the model is user-selected from a dozen options, and no verification loop or benchmark is documented. |
| La Inversora | 4.3 | 4.0 | Anything — Renaming from Create to Anything is a repositioning out of a crowded prompt-to-app field, and a broader name usually signals a narrower one that did not work. |
| La Jefa | 4.0 | 4.0 | no preference |
| El Hacker | 2.8 | 3.5 | Softgen — Closed, no key of mine, no local models, no MCP, but the lock-in ends at export: the Next.js repo and the Vercel project are in my accounts, and the model picker includes Kimi and Qwen. |
