Scroll and ZKsync are layer 2 zkEVM's, not layer 1 blockchains. They depend on Ethereum and use Solidity, whereas Aleo uses a dedicated ZK language.

Aleo's value proposition is believed to be higher than other zkEVMs. If competitors are valued between 2 and 3 billion, Aleo's value could be significantly higher.
