If you fit their wishlist at least a bit, definitely try. They are very quick to respond (in my case not even 12 hours) and have multiple kinds of form rejections, for which you can find more detailed explanations on their website, so you can somewhat know what is the reason.

Q: 2/23 YA Fantasy 79K
Partial Request 3/1 (1st 50 pages + synopsis)
Sent same day.
Rejection on 3/11: Their form made it really clear it wasn't craft-based, but personal taste. Really appreciate their personalized forms so one understands if its taste-based or craft-specific. Complimented my bouncy voice. :) So that was nice.

I highly recommend querying Allegra if your manuscript fits their wish list. Not only are they very quick to respond, but they have various auto response prompts that will provide a general idea of why they passed on your query (i.e. "premise", "craft", "incorrect submission", etc.
