Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Gito | Proval | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 7.0 | 6.3 | Gito — Pick it when review is your bottleneck and you want a first pass before you push; pick CodeRabbit if you would rather buy a finished product than run one. |
| El Crítico | 6.0 | 4.8 | Gito — It comments and never fixes, and nothing documented sets a severity threshold or suppresses a category, so the only volume control available is switching it off entirely. |
| El Profesor | 6.3 | 6.0 | Gito — The model behind the review is a configuration choice, so no published number could describe the tool rather than somebody's deployment. None is published, which is at least consistent. |
| La Inversora | 5.8 | 4.5 | Gito — 432 stars, one maintainer and a package on the index, competing in the one category where buyers do pay subscriptions and the alternatives are funded and hosted. |
| La Jefa | 6.5 | 6.3 | Gito — No seats to buy for sixty engineers, it installs as a job on every pull request, and it already speaks to the trackers my teams live in. |
| El Hacker | 6.3 | 7.8 | Proval — AGPL-3.0 and it takes any compatible endpoint, including Ollama and llama.cpp, so the one tool that reads all my code never has to phone anyone. |
