Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Qodo | Tusk | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.5 | 6.0 | Qodo — Qodo is the review bot for a team that already has written rules and a lead who wants a dashboard; if you only want comments on your PRs, CodeRabbit is cheaper and simpler. |
| El Crítico | 5.8 | 5.3 | Qodo — Two meters, no free tier, no published benchmark, and the open-source half now lives under another organization; what remains is a capable but opaque review platform. |
| El Profesor | 5.8 | 5.8 | no preference |
| La Inversora | 6.8 | 6.8 | no preference |
| La Jefa | 6.5 | 6.3 | Qodo — Qodo is built for the meeting where legal asks who reviewed what, but SSO and on-prem are Enterprise-only at custom pricing, so budget the sales call before the seats. |
| El Hacker | 3.8 | 4.0 | Tusk — Proprietary, undisclosed model, no key of mine and no weights on my machine; the one thing I get is a command-line entry point I can drive from a script. |
