I don't really need four of the energy monitoring plugs, but I can stomach buying 4 for $23, which makes the Tapo a much better idea for me. $40 is excessive when I'm really only looking for 1-2 right now. I guess I could resell, but that's a hassle.

The switches in this "deal" are pricy because of being Apple Home compliant as well as Matter compliant - if neither matter to you, the regular multipacks of Kasa on/offs and dimmers are cheaper.

But I do believe the Kasa devices will still be supported in the Tapo app for the long run (according to hints from mods on the TP-Link forums). This is why I am not switching out everything, keeping my Kasa Switches and still using most of my older Kasa devices as well. I just use the Tapo app more exclusively now, even to automate the older Kasa devices.
I know at least the energy monitoring outlets are not normally this cheap.

Kasa:
- more diverse range of products over Tapo
- integration with IFTTT (smart home integration)
- can set "scenes" amongst all or select devises
Tapo:
- looks like most items are only controlled through the Tapo app. This may be false with the new products coming out.
- appears not to be IFTTT friendly. Again, could be wrong with new updates.
Basically, for basic non-integration usage, you'd be fine with either. Tapo being the most affordable of the two. If you want smart home integration, stick with Kasa.
Referencing an earlier post, Kasa is not being phased out by Tapo. They are two different product lines from the same parent company. Tapo is just the budget line.
This is summed up by skimming a few articles so please do your own research to draw conclusions.
The Kasa Homekit ones do have that feature.
That being said, I have too many Wifi plugs.
I wish Thread only plugs for Homekit were cheaper so I could stop clogging up my wifi.
