Our take
The bottom line
QuickFS and Tegus cover a lot of the same ground (3 shared categories, financials, data visualizations, and sheets / excel add-ins), so for the basics you won't go far wrong with either. Tegus simply does more: 8 categories to QuickFS's 4, including transcripts, improved filings, and research templates, plus a mobile app. QuickFS counters by keeping things simpler.

Where each one shines
What QuickFS and Tegus each do best.What QuickFS does best
- Official homepage says QuickFS will not relaunch and that the founder introduced FastFS.org to a data vendor that could support a successor with major QuickFS-like features.
- Legacy product offered 20-year history for 200+ standardized metrics and statements across 40,000+ international stocks.
- Legacy Excel add-in used =QFS("ticker","metric","period") to pull data directly into models; Microsoft AppSource listings may still exist but require a QuickFS account and should not be treated as an active standalone service.
- Legacy API and exports covered fundamentals, market data, company metadata, CSV/Excel exports, and bulk downloads; current official homepage does not advertise active API access.
- Ticker format with country suffix (e.g., AAPL:US) and global coverage across U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, and more were legacy capabilities.
What Tegus does best
- Search more than 280,000 investor-led insights covering over 29,000 companies.
- Commission custom calls with pre-qualified experts.
- Use AlphaSense Generative Search, Deep Research, workflow agents, summaries, and topic tags across transcripts, filings, financial data, broker research, and market intelligence.
- Search across company filings and transcripts with watchlists, email alerts, downloadable tables, historical table comparisons, and filing workflow tools.
- Use more than 4,000 pre-built Canalyst models, Excel models, DCF, LBO, and M&A templates through the Tegus Excel Add-in.

Curation & Accuracy
This directory blends AI‑assisted discovery with human curation. Entries are reviewed, edited, and organized with the goal of expanding coverage and sharpening quality over time. Your feedback helps steer improvements (because no single human can capture everything all at once).
Details change. Pricing, features, and availability may be incomplete or out of date. Treat listings as a starting point and verify on the provider’s site before making decisions. If you spot an error or a gap, send a quick note and I’ll adjust.
