What each record credits
Alanna.ai: Names four production systems: SoftPro Select, RamQuest CCE, ResWare and Settlor. Alanna.ai: Founders Randall Nelson and Hoyt Mann built RamQuest and PhaseWare before. Alanna.ai: Order entry ingests raw email and PDF, no structured order feed required. Encapture: Publishes a real named integration list instead of generic claims. Encapture: Covers HMDA and CRA reporting, with the Dodd-Frank 1071 rule included. Encapture: US Bank and Wells Fargo appear as named customers, unusually big validation.
What each record holds against them
Alanna.ai: Title and settlement only; lenders cannot run it against Encompass or any LOS. Alanna.ai: No pricing, tiers, per-seat or per-order rate anywhere on the site. Alanna.ai: The 70 percent saving is a vendor claim, and homepage counters render zero. Encapture: Mortgage is one vertical among several, so origination depth runs shallower. Encapture: The Encapture brand is dissolving into Continuous, and product identity is unresolved. Encapture: No published pricing under either brand.
Which one fits which shop

Encapture: Encapture turns lending documents into structured data for banks and credit unions. Encapture: The focus is regulatory reporting, HMDA and CRA first, now the 1071 small business rule too.
