Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | SwarmClaw | Tutti | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.8 | 6.0 | SwarmClaw — Pick SwarmClaw if you want a free, self-hosted dashboard to orchestrate and visualize teams of agents for research, but not for hands-on coding. |
| El Crítico | 5.8 | 5.0 | SwarmClaw — SwarmClaw ships with a proprietary license despite being open-source, and lacks core coding capabilities like terminal execution or Git operations. |
| El Profesor | 5.3 | 5.8 | Tutti — MCP appears in both directions and only in the in-repository architecture notes, not the README, so the protocol story is real and effectively undocumented for readers. |
| La Inversora | 5.3 | 5.3 | no preference |
| La Jefa | 4.0 | 5.0 | Tutti — Free at sixty seats and macOS and Windows only, with no headless mode, so my Linux engineers are excluded and nothing here reaches a pipeline. |
| El Hacker | 6.5 | 6.8 | Tutti — Apache-2.0 with MCP in both directions, and the agents authenticate with subscriptions I already pay for, so nothing new holds a credential. |
Picks are derived from each critic's own scores. Humans vote on matchups on the duels page.
