Compare AEO options for credit unions and community banks
Honest comparisons of AI visibility tools, agencies and in-house teams for credit unions and community banks. Every fact about another vendor links to that vendor's own site, carries the date we checked it, and is corrected on request.
How to choose
- Do you want software your team runs, a service that does the work, or an advisor who guides it?
- Who will draft the fixes, and who at your institution approves them before they are published?
- Which AI engines, markets and products matter to you, and how often do you need them re-checked?

Where Scanley is not the right fit
- No published prices: the figure comes after the free scan.
- Fewer runs per question than sampling-heavy tools: two per engine, where Evertune says up to 100.
- Fewer engines than Profound or Scrunch Enterprise (up to 9) or Evertune Pro (11).
- No self-serve trial. The starting point is the free scan.
- No published client case studies yet, and no security attestation stated.
How we write comparisons
- Every fact about another company carries the date we checked it, and each page shows its oldest check date.
- Every fact links to its source, the company's own page wherever possible. Third-party lists are never the source.
- Capabilities are described in the company's own words, and a number a company reports about itself is attributed to it.
- Absence is not a fact. Where a site does not describe something, we write that it is not stated there, never that the company does not do it.
- No disparagement: nothing about a competitor's quality, staff, finances or customers.
- No rankings, scores or stars, for Scanley or anyone else, and no "best" or "only" claims about Scanley.
- Scanley's own claims meet the same standard: each one also appears elsewhere on this site.
- Names are plain text. No competitor logos or screenshots, and nothing that implies affiliation or endorsement.
- Prices are quoted exactly, with the plan and the unit, never multiplied out.
- Pricing is re-checked monthly, everything else quarterly, and any fact immediately when a company contacts us.

Questions about these comparisons
Why does Scanley publish comparisons with competitors?
Buyers compare anyway, and AI assistants answer comparison questions whether or not anyone wrote a fair page. We would rather the page they read link every fact to its source and say plainly where another option fits better.
How do you keep competitor facts accurate?
Every fact is taken from the vendor's own website and stored with its source and the day we read it. Pages show the oldest check date. Pricing is re-checked monthly and everything else quarterly, and immediately when a vendor writes to us.
Can a vendor request a correction?
Yes. Email hello@meetscanley.com with the fact and a public source. We reply within five business days, and a change is noted with its date on the page.
Do you get paid by any vendor listed here?
No. Nobody pays for placement or wording on these pages.
