The Verdict
Baserow is built for developers and small teams, with a focus on database-tables and forms. Taiga targets agile teams and open source advocates and leads with scrum-boards and kanban.
Both tools come in at similar price points ($5/mo for Baserow, $5/mo for Taiga), so pricing won't make the decision for you.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
This is a genuinely close comparison. If you can, sign up for both free trials (where available) and run a one-week test with your actual team tasks before deciding.
