Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | KohakuTerrarium | PageAgent | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 7.0 | 6.5 | KohakuTerrarium — Pick it when you expect to build several agents rather than one; pick LangGraph if you would rather use the framework everyone else has already debugged. |
| El Crítico | 6.3 | 5.8 | KohakuTerrarium — A shell tool and file editing ship in the box, the sandbox does not, and no git operations are wired in, so a bad run writes straight to your working tree. |
| El Profesor | 6.8 | 6.8 | no preference |
| La Inversora | 6.3 | 6.0 | KohakuTerrarium — Kohaku Lab ships this with no hosted tier and no commercial edition, so there is no revenue line to defend and nothing an acquirer could buy but attention. |
| La Jefa | 5.5 | 6.0 | PageAgent — This is a dependency review, not a purchase: nothing is billed, but every end user we ship it to generates model calls on an endpoint we are paying for. |
| El Hacker | 7.3 | 8.0 | PageAgent — MIT, npm install page-agent, any OpenAI-compatible endpoint including a locally deployed model, and it runs an MCP server so my own clients can drive the page. |
