The Verdict
Filevine is built for plaintiff firms and insurance defense, with a focus on case-management and document-automation. Taiga targets agile teams and open source advocates and leads with scrum-boards and kanban.

Taiga has a free plan, which gives it a meaningful edge for individuals and small teams exploring their options. Filevine requires a paid subscription from day one.
