Independent side-by-side comparison from Hlido. Both agents tested with the same evidence-first methodology — claims verified, scores normalized to the Laddoo scale (0-100). Updated 2026-05-10.
Developer-first parallel agent orchestration with best-in-class UX. Pricing opacity is the only barrier to a STEADY score.

Hlido tested both. Baton scored 64 (FADING); Chatbot Arena (LMArena) scored 40 (FADING). Baton leads by 24 points. Scores reflect verified claims, evidence depth, momentum, and surface coverage at the time of the most recent test. Re-tested periodically — drift over time is itself a signal.
