The Verdict
Slidev is built for developers and tech speakers, with a focus on markdown-slides and live-coding. Taiga targets agile teams and open source advocates and leads with scrum-boards and kanban.
Slidev uses custom enterprise pricing, while Taiga starts at $5/mo — a tangible advantage for teams with a fixed budget.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Bottom line: Slidev has a slight overall edge — but if fully open-source and self-hostable matters most to you, Taiga may still be the right call.
