The Kasa energy monitoring power strip and energy monitoring smart plugs work with the Sense home energy tracking system (for those who have that installed), whereas the Tapo energy monitoring devices don't.
I have some of both. Both Kasa and Tapo devices work with the Tapo app (but Tapo devices don't work with the Kasa app). The newer Tapo devices have slightly better features in some cases; but in general they work the same from a user point of view.

If you want future-proof, Matter-certified devices are supposed to work even with other manufacturers' app ecosystems, with no server-side support from the original manufacturer.

Main difference I can see is Kasa allows you to set scenes, where Tapo is only simple controls and scheduling.
My understanding was that Kasa was the original TP-Link smart home line before Matter came out. Tapo is their new line that is Matter compatible while Kasa is not. TP-Link decided not to discontinue the Kasa line (yet) and sell both Kasa and Tapo simultaneously.
If you plug a power strip full of devices into a smart plug, and turn that smart plug off, it turns the whole power strip off.
