Bookmap vs TradingView

Bookmap costs more than TradingView at entry level, and its data is extra. Bookmap's pricing page lists Digital+ at $16 per month on annual billing ($19 monthly), Global at $39 ($49) and Global+ at $79 ($99). Global is also sold as a $990 lifetime licence and Global+ as a $1990 lifetime licence. Real-time futures and stocks data fees are not included in the software price, so the total depends on the feeds chosen. TradingView's pricing page lists Essential at $12.95 per month billed annually, Plus at $29.95, Premium at $59.95 and Ultimate at $199.95, shown under a 'special price' label with no stated end date. Annual billing saves $36 a year on Digital+, $120 on Global and $240 on Global+. Prices are in US dollars on both sides and were last checked in October 2026.

Yes, Bookmap has a free Digital plan, but it is limited to one instrument at a time. According to the vendor's packages table, Digital covers crypto with real-time data from Binance, Bitfinex and more than 20 other exchanges, plus delayed futures and stocks data. Digital+ at $16 per month on annual billing raises this to 3 symbols; Global allows 10 and Global+ 20. Paid subscriptions are non-refundable, and renewal can be cancelled any time before the next billing date. TradingView's pricing page lists a free Basic plan marked '$0 forever', with 3 active price alerts and 2 indicators per chart. Its Terms of Service allow refunds within 14 days on annual plans and 7 days on monthly ones, while the pricing-page FAQ mentions annual plans only. All figures were last checked in October 2026.

No comparable liquidity heatmap appears in TradingView's collected feature list; Bookmap is built around one. Bookmap's liquidity heatmap shows every limit order across all price levels as it updates in real time, with volume bubbles for executed volume and a Footprint add-on. Record & Replay stores live sessions and replays them tick by tick with full market depth. TradingView's comparison table checks Volume footprint only for Premium and Ultimate, and its Stock Heatmap is a different tool, grouping index constituents by market cap. TradingView's Deep Backtesting covers up to 2 million bars per run and is limited to Premium and Ultimate; replay by the tick is 7 days on Ultimate only. Bookmap's replay and backtesting on full depth need recorded data, and backfill is not saved into replay files. Figures were last checked in October 2026.

Yes, Bookmap supports custom add-ons through its Add-ons (L1) API, which has a Simplified API in both Java and Python. The docs also mention a new Python API in alpha. A second Connect API (L0) is for custom market data and trading connections; it includes a free Connect solution and a paid Quant one. The Bookmap Marketplace lists 86 add-ons across Education, Indicators, Market data and Strategies, many from third parties with their own monthly prices, such as Chart Mania from $20 per month and AAVWAP+ from $69 per month. TradingView scripts are written in Pine Script, which has a checkmark on all five plans, and the platform lists 400+ built-in indicators and 100K+ community indicators. Pine Screener is limited to Premium and Ultimate. All figures were last checked in October 2026.

Bookmap market data costs extra: crypto is free, but real-time futures and stocks feeds are billed on top of the subscription. BookmapData for CME is $34 per month per exchange for non-professional users, and the vendor says it requires a Global or Global+ plan. The first month is $17 for a single CME exchange. Nasdaq TotalView is $29 for the first month, then $59. Vendor pages differ on coverage and depth: the BookmapData page cites over 13000 Nasdaq stocks and ETFs and 72 hours of backfill, while the knowledge base cites over 5,000 stocks and 48 hours of CME backfill. TradingView lists CME real-time data at $9.95 per month for non-professionals, and its US stock bundle also at $9.95. Data on both sides depends on user status. All figures were last checked in October 2026.

Bookmap supports futures, stocks and crypto, and it routes orders through partner brokers rather than acting as one. The features page describes running multiple markets side by side, and trading futures or stocks from Bookmap requires Global+. Compatible brokers include TradeStation and Interactive Brokers. The software runs on Windows, Mac and Linux, with limited Linux support, and on one computer at a time. Support is by email, chat and a voicemail line, with Discord and a forum, during European and US sessions; no paid support tier was found. TradingView covers stock exchanges, currency pairs, indexes and 70 crypto exchanges, and offers broker, paper, chart and DOM trading on all five plans. It runs on the web, iOS, Android and a desktop app. Bookmap states that nothing on its site is trading advice. All figures were last checked in October 2026.
