Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Kodus | PR-Agent | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 7.3 | 7.0 | Kodus — Pick Kodus if your team keeps repeating the same review comment; pick Greptile if you want the bot to understand the codebase rather than follow your instructions. |
| El Crítico | 6.3 | 6.0 | Kodus — Review standards are expressed in natural language and there is no documented way to test one, so a badly phrased rule fails silently on every pull request. |
| El Profesor | 6.5 | 6.8 | PR-Agent — The interesting engineering is compression: patches are fitted to the token budget adaptively, context is expanded dynamically, and the model is asked to rank its own suggestions. |
| La Inversora | 6.0 | 5.5 | Kodus — Open core with an enterprise edition carved out of the same tree, and no published price, which means the monetisation question is still open. |
| La Jefa | 7.0 | 7.0 | no preference |
| El Hacker | 7.8 | 7.5 | Kodus — AGPL-3.0 for everything except files marked with .ee. or under ee/, and it takes any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so the reviewer can run on my own box. |
Picks are derived from each critic's own scores. Humans vote on matchups on the duels page.
