“It is built to be run by your coding agent rather than by you, which is the first tool here honest about who its actual user is.”

Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | LaReview | revmux | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 7.0 | 6.0 | LaReview — Pick this when large pull requests are the bottleneck and you already pay for a coding agent; pick a hosted review bot if you want it to run without you. |
| El Crítico | 6.0 | 5.5 | LaReview — The row states that review reasoning runs in whichever coding agent you selected, not in LaReview, so the quality of a review is a property of your configuration. |
| El Profesor | 6.0 | 6.3 | revmux — The triage profile runs a four-way panel over an issue and returns the arguments rather than a verdict, declining to average away the disagreement. |
| La Inversora | 5.3 | 5.0 | LaReview — A hundred and seventy-four stars, one maintainer and no commercial surface, competing in the one category where the funded incumbents already sit inside the pull request. |
| La Jefa | 6.0 | 5.0 | LaReview — Nothing per seat for sixty engineers, feedback lands back in the forge we already use, and team rules mean standards are a file rather than a tradition. |
| El Hacker | 6.5 | 6.0 | LaReview — MIT, a prebuilt binary rather than a package manager, and linked local repositories mean the code search happens on my disk even though the inference does not. |
Picks are derived from each critic's own scores. Humans vote on matchups on the duels page.
