A free Bookmap alternative for crypto

How they differ

• Price: Bookmap's full features need a paid subscription, and futures data feeds cost extra. DM Charts is free.
• Install: Bookmap is a desktop app. DM Charts runs in the browser, including on phones and tablets.
• Account: Bookmap needs an account. DM Charts needs none.
• Markets: Bookmap covers futures, stocks and crypto through data connections. DM Charts covers crypto order flow from the major exchanges, plus regular charts for stocks, FX and commodities.
• Extra tools: DM Charts adds footprint charts, CVD, volume profile and options data on the same chart.

Where Bookmap is the better choice

If you trade CME futures or need to place orders from the heatmap through a broker, Bookmap supports that and DM Charts does not. Bookmap also has a large library of add-ons built over many years.

Where DM Charts is the better choice

If you trade crypto and want a heatmap without paying or installing anything, DM Charts is built for that. It can join several exchanges' order books and trades, and it puts footprint, CVD and options data on the same chart. To get the familiar look, open the chart, press Ask and type “bookmap look”.
