Tailwind CSS: utility classes in HTML (className="flex items-center p-4"), no custom CSS files, consistent design tokens, larger HTML but smaller CSS. CSS Modules: scoped CSS files (.module.css), write normal CSS with automatic class name scoping, cleaner HTML. Tailwind is faster for prototyping and ensures consistency. CSS Modules are better when you want separation of concerns and traditional CSS authoring.
