Tegus by AlphaSenseReviews of tegus.com

I have had limited, but only positive interactions with this expert network and two of my projects evolved into longer term direct contracts. Tegus has always respected my time and rate. The associates understand my expertise and have been proactive in recommending me to potential clients.

The Tegus team was proactive in their communication and follow up. I got consistent reminders for the scheduled call. All went smoothly.

I had a straightforward and pleasant experience with the team. Natalie was super helpful and accommodating. Would do another project any time with them.

I've done a few consulting calls with them, but I'd recommend avoiding them. They waste your time over petty dollar amounts, and it's not worth the trouble. Firstly, they refuse to filter offerings based on a minimum rate I set. I was going to stop responding to their opportunities for this reason anyway. Second, they just sent me a check for 45 minutes instead of the full hour. It's true that the client was satisfied with the results of only 45 minutes of consulting; but I still had to set aside the full hour and go through the various prep work of filling out their forms and finding room on my schedule. So if you are going to take work with them, remember not to get to the point too quickly, since they'll dock you for being succinct.

absolute scam, see reviews below.

A Consistently Disappointing Experience — Experts Beware I’ve engaged with Tegus multiple times over the past few years, and unfortunately the experience has been consistently poor. Each time, I’ve gone through their full process, detailed written responses to client questions, completion of compliance forms, and confirmation of availability — only for the “project” to be abruptly cancelled with a vague note that “client priorities have shifted.” Not once has this resulted in a compensated call. It’s difficult not to conclude that Tegus systematically collects expert insights upfront under the guise of client preparation, without fair remuneration. This pattern erodes trust and undermines the integrity of their so-called expert network. Professionals considering working with Tegus should proceed with caution. There are far more transparent and reputable expert networks that genuinely value your time and expertise.

Horrible business model. You do a consultancy, they record it and keep it on file. You get paid once, they keep reselling it. You don't get anything after the first. Don't fall for this scam. For anybody trying to use this as a customer for information: only idiots would subscribe to this as a consultant, so don't expect any meaningful results

Quick Summary: Do not engage with any of these 'expert' network companies that make unsolicited contact. What happened: This is an incredibly well orchestrated scam. They promise to pay $400/hour for a call. Then require I spend about 30 minutes providing personal info like SS#, bank account numbers, and address. Then they cancel the call, pay nothing, and have all the 'expert's' personal information that can easily be used for identity theft. Brilliant way to get intimate personal details. I don't usually get scammed but ended up kissing the frog this time. I hope this helps other people avoid the same trap.
