The Verdict

n8n is built for developers and technical teams, with a focus on workflows and self-hosting. Taiga targets agile teams and open source advocates and leads with scrum-boards and kanban.

On pricing, Taiga is the clear winner for budget-conscious users — starting at $5/mo compared to $24/mo for n8n. That $19/mo difference adds up quickly for growing teams.

Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.

n8n edges out on user ratings (4.6 vs 4.2). While both are well-regarded, that gap reflects real differences in user satisfaction worth considering.

Feature-wise, n8n offers broader built-in capabilities (7 features vs 6), while Taiga takes a more focused approach — which can mean a simpler, faster onboarding experience.

Bottom line: n8n has a slight overall edge — but if fully open-source and self-hostable matters most to you, Taiga may still be the right call.
