The Verdict
Taiga is built for agile teams and open source advocates, with a focus on scrum-boards and kanban. Trello targets small teams and individuals and leads with kanban and calendar.
Both tools come in at similar price points ($5/mo for Taiga, $5/mo for Trello), 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.
