Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | eve | Upsonic | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.0 | 6.0 | no preference |
| El Crítico | 4.8 | 5.8 | Upsonic — The stated safety model is a workspace path plus blocked dangerous commands, and a command blocklist is the weakest control in this category, not a sandbox. |
| El Profesor | 6.0 | 6.3 | Upsonic — Prebuilt agents are packaged as a skill, a system prompt and a first message, which makes a published agent a reproducible artifact rather than a description of one. |
| La Inversora | 6.0 | 5.5 | eve — 4,971 stars in three months from a company whose inference routing service supplies the model identifiers, which makes the open framework a very well-built funnel. |
| La Jefa | 5.5 | 4.8 | eve — Nothing to buy for sixty engineers, and the spend arrives metered through a routing service, while messaging channels and schedules make this an internal bot platform. |
| El Hacker | 6.3 | 6.5 | Upsonic — MIT, one install with uv, the model is a provider-prefixed string so switching vendors is a literal, and there is no tool protocol client at all. |
