“It supports background jobs, so the agent can now be wrong while you are busy being wrong about something else.”

“The command line ships pointed at a cheap default model, which is the most realistic assumption any of these tools has made about its users.”

Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Evener | SolonCode | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.8 | 6.5 | Evener — Pick this if you want to start work in a browser tab and finish it in a terminal; pick a single-surface agent if switching windows is not a problem you have. |
| El Crítico | 5.8 | 5.0 | Evener — One hub process tracks every concurrent session, and nothing in the row describes persistence, recovery or what a running agent does when that process goes away. |
| El Profesor | 7.0 | 6.0 | Evener — Tool use goes through each provider's native calling interface rather than a parsed text convention, and the extension points are published as runtime contracts. |
| La Inversora | 5.3 | 6.0 | SolonCode — A framework team shipping an agent, published on a domestic code host first with a mirror abroad, and released in February 2026 with no adoption recorded yet. |
| La Jefa | 5.8 | 5.3 | Evener — Free across sixty desks, and the non-interactive command line means it can actually sit in a pipeline, which is more than most of this category manages. |
| El Hacker | 6.3 | 7.5 | SolonCode — MIT, and it speaks the tool protocol, OpenAPI, the language server protocol and the agent protocol, with a settings page that takes a local endpoint. |
Picks are derived from each critic's own scores. Humans vote on matchups on the duels page.
