Bookmap review 2026: heatmap, plans and data costs

Bookmap is desktop software for analysing the order book and order flow. Its heatmap shows resting limit orders over time, while volume bubbles show executed trades. The software supports crypto, stock and futures data through compatible connections. Plans differ in symbol limits, recording and order-entry tools; real-time stock and futures data are purchased separately.

Keep in mind

Software tools are not brokers and hold no funds. Automated orders execute in your own broker account, at your own risk.

About the service

Bookmap is subscription software for traders (software); it is not a broker and holds no funds.

Products and plans

  • Bookmap order-book and order-flow analysis

    Bookmap desktop software provides an order-book heatmap, volume bubbles and order-flow analysis tools. Digital includes live crypto data and delayed stock and futures data. Digital Plus adds recording and replay; Global and Global Plus support real-time data connections paid for separately. Stock and futures order execution requires Global Plus and a compatible trading-account connection.

Who it suits

Who it suits

  • For active traders who want to examine the order book and order flow in short-term decisions.
  • For users who want to record market activity and revisit it for learning and review.

Who may prefer an alternative

  • Less suitable for users seeking real-time stock and futures data in the free Digital plan.

Costs and service terms

Service model
Order-book analysis software

The subscription covers software. Live order execution uses a connection to a brokerage account or a supported exchange.

Digital Plus: monthly billing
19 USD/month

Standard USD price for a monthly software subscription. Real-time stock and futures data are excluded; check the amount and billing terms on the order.

Global: monthly billing
49 USD/month

Standard USD price for a monthly software subscription. Real-time stock and futures data are excluded; check the amount and billing terms on the order.

Global Plus: monthly billing
99 USD/month

Standard USD price for a monthly software subscription. Real-time stock and futures data are excluded; check the amount and billing terms on the order.

What the heatmap shows
Resting order quantities at different price levels in the order book.

The colour scale, display thresholds and contrast are configurable. Colour intensity also depends on the settings; it is not the number of executed trades.

Volume bubbles and order flow
Volume bubbles show executed volume and the aggressive buying or selling side.

The display depends on zoom and the chosen aggregation method. A bubble may contain several trades rather than a single transaction.

Digital plan
A plan with no software fee, one viewable symbol, live crypto data and delayed stock and futures data.

This is the entry plan. Delayed data are not real-time stock or futures data.

What Digital Plus adds
Up to three simultaneous symbols, market-data recording and replay, and crypto trading through a supported connection.

Stock and futures data remain delayed in this plan. Stock and futures order execution is not included.

What Global includes
Up to ten simultaneous symbols and support for connecting real-time stock and futures data.

A suitable data subscription must be purchased or connected separately. Stock and futures order execution requires Global Plus.

What Global Plus adds
Up to twenty simultaneous symbols, stock and futures order execution, and tools including DOM Pro, Execution Pro, Footprint and Multibook Customizer.

Order execution requires a supported trading-account connection. The software subscription excludes real-time stock and futures data charges.

Market data in the total budget
Real-time stock and futures data are charged separately from the software subscription.

The cost varies by exchange and data package. The software price alone is not the total cost of using these data.

Data and order-execution connections
Supported connections include BookmapData, dxFeed and Rithmic. Market-data and order-execution connections are separate services.

dxFeed supplies data rather than brokerage services. The asset, broker, plan and adapter determine whether orders can also be sent; check the specific connection.

MBO versus stock data
BookmapData provides Market-by-Order data for CME Group futures and Nasdaq market-depth data for stocks. Stock MBO data are not available in this service.

The FAQ states that the MBO bundle's Stops & Icebergs add-ons do not support Nasdaq TotalView. Data pricing distinguishes professional from non-professional use.

Add-ons and separate purchases
The Marketplace sells add-ons, market data and courses separately.

Check what is already included in the plan and what needs a separate purchase. Add-on compatibility does not mean every Marketplace add-on is included in the subscription price.

Add-on data compatibility
Add-on support varies by data provider.

Some add-ons rely on a specific data type. Check the add-on's requirements and compatibility with the plan and connection before buying.

Recording and review
Market data can be recorded and replayed to review past events.

Replay tools support review and practice on historical data. Choose a plan that includes Record & Replay.

Subscription renewal and cancellation
Cancelling a subscription stops automatic renewal; the help page says access remains until expiry.

Stopping all subscriptions may require cancellation in both the Bookmap portal and the Marketplace account, which manages add-ons and subscriptions such as Rithmic.

Published refund policy
On its crypto packages page, Bookmap states that paid subscriptions are non-refundable.

Cancelling renewal does not promise a refund. Also check the terms of the specific offer before paying.

Refund terms on specific offers
The Special Offers form states a full refund within 14 days, limited to first-time use.

This wording concerns the offers shown on that form. Check whether the same condition appears on your order; do not assume it covers every subscription or market-data purchase.

Systems and computer requirements
Software for Windows and macOS, with limited Linux support.

The published Windows and macOS minimum includes 8GB of RAM. High-volume depth data and add-ons need additional resources; not every adapter is available on macOS.

Use on multiple computers
Installation on multiple computers is allowed, but normally only one instance can run at a time.

Global Plus permits a second instance on another computer for replay while the other instance runs live. This does not mean two live-trading licences.

Market-data usage terms
Display-use BookmapData are subject to a subscriber agreement and the relevant exchange agreements.

The agreement requires professional or non-professional classification and limits the data to the subscriber's internal use. It does not imply permission to redistribute the data.

Trading risk and responsibility
A heatmap, historical data and simulation do not guarantee trading results.

Bookmap states that information in the software is not investment advice. The broker handles order execution; communication failures and delays are possible, and trading losses can exceed the initial investment.

  • Koinly · review

    Koinly consolidates crypto records from exchanges and wallets, matches transfers and generates reports for an accountant. Import through a supported API, CSV file or public wallet address, review the calculations and buy reports for the tax year needed. Tax-report plans use one-time payments and have transaction limits. For an Israeli reader, the value is consolidating, checking and exporting records for professional preparation; the service does not file tax returns or replace an accountant.
