Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Koog | Langroid | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.8 | 7.0 | Langroid — Pick Langroid when you want a small library you can finish reading; pick CrewAI when you want roles and a crowd of examples to copy from. |
| El Crítico | 6.0 | 6.5 | Langroid — Message exchange between tasks is hierarchical and recursive, and nothing documented bounds the depth, so a misbehaving delegation can spend money quietly. |
| El Profesor | 6.8 | 7.5 | Langroid — The orchestration model is actor-inspired and stated as such: entities with private state exchanging messages, which is a well-studied concurrency model rather than a novel one. |
| La Inversora | 6.3 | 6.3 | no preference |
| La Jefa | 6.5 | 5.5 | Koog — It integrates with Spring Boot and Ktor, so it deploys into services we already run, and support goes through the vendor's existing issue tracker rather than a stranger's inbox. |
| El Hacker | 7.8 | 8.0 | Langroid — MIT, one pip install, any agent can call MCP servers, and Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint means the weights sit wherever I put them. |
