Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | hostess | Integuru | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 4.8 | 4.3 | hostess — Pick this if you want to read an entire coding agent in an afternoon; pick Aider if you want one that will still be useful next month. |
| El Crítico | 4.0 | 3.5 | hostess — The tool set includes bash, write and edit, and the row records no version control integration, so nothing captures the state of a file before the agent changes it. |
| El Profesor | 4.3 | 4.0 | hostess — The seven-tool surface is described as aligned with an existing agent's, which makes this a replication rather than a design, and replications are legitimate when declared. |
| La Inversora | 3.8 | 6.3 | Integuru — This is a classic pivot from an open-source, BYOK tool to a managed service, signaling a search for product-market fit and a viable business model. |
| La Jefa | 3.5 | 3.0 | hostess — Free across sixty desks, no console, no audit record, no provisioning, no unattended run, and a supplier record that would read as one person's username. |
| El Hacker | 5.8 | 4.5 | hostess — MIT, and the entire model configuration is environment variables against any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, which is the smallest correct configuration surface there is. |
