Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Globant CODA | Rovo Dev | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.3 | 6.5 | Rovo Dev — Pick Rovo Dev if your tickets live in Jira and your code in Bitbucket, because the agent plans the work item and reviews the pull request; pick Claude Code if the terminal is your whole workflow. |
| El Crítico | 6.0 | 5.8 | Globant CODA — The undo mechanism is a git worktree and needs Git 2.5.0 or later, so a checkpoint covers what git already tracks and nothing else, in a repository that must exist. |
| El Profesor | 7.0 | 6.3 | Globant CODA — The session loop is published as three ordered steps, read and plan, edit and run, then checkpoint, and the shell tool is documented as running tests, linters and build scripts. |
| La Inversora | 6.3 | 7.3 | Rovo Dev — Atlassian owns the ticket and the repo, and it is rolling free Rovo Dev credits into Jira Cloud plans, which is distribution being used as a weapon. |
| La Jefa | 6.0 | 7.0 | Rovo Dev — Sixty Standard seats is $1,200 a month before overage, the models run under zero-data-retention terms, and there is a 30-day trial, which is the right shape for a pilot. |
| El Hacker | 6.0 | 3.8 | Globant CODA — The npm package declares its licence as SEE LICENSE IN README.md, which is a licence field doing no work. Ollama is documented, and MCP servers live in .coda/mcp.json. |
