OpenMarket vs Bookmap

OpenMarket and Bookmap list entry paid plans at $29 and $16 per month on annual billing, but the tiers are not like-for-like. OpenMarket's plan page lists Plus at $29 per month billed annually ($348 a year) or $35 month-to-month, and the same USD prices came back for guest sessions from 10 countries; checkout was not tested. Bookmap's pricing page lists Digital+ at $16 per month billed yearly or $19 monthly, with 3 symbols viewable at once. Global is $39 per month yearly, and Global+ at $79 yearly is the plan needed to trade futures or stocks. Both have a free plan: OpenMarket Free, and Bookmap Digital, which covers crypto with one instrument at a time. Real-time CME data is billed separately on both sides. OpenMarket's CME add-on is listed at $7 per month for L1 and $45 for Depth, and BookmapData CME is $34 per month per exchange at non-professional rates. All figures were last checked in October 2026.

Bookmap is distributed as downloadable Windows, Mac and Linux builds, whereas OpenMarket runs in the browser. Bookmap lists a Windows minimum of 8 GB RAM and 10 GB of disk, and recommends 32 GB RAM for heavy use such as MBO. It can be installed on several computers but runs on one at a time, and Linux support is limited. OpenMarket has no native iOS or Android app, but the platform works in a mobile browser, with a desktop or tablet recommended for complex analysis. Scripting differs as well. OpenMarket's wrun engine uses TypeScript syntax compiled to WebAssembly, runs indicators in the browser or on OpenMarket's servers when the code is protected, and on CME futures only OpenMarket's official indicators run. Bookmap's Add-ons API offers a Simplified API in Java and Python, with a new Python API in alpha, plus a separate Connect API for custom data and trading connections. Details come from each vendor's own pages, last checked in October 2026.

OpenMarket and Bookmap both show an order-book heatmap, but they package order flow differently. OpenMarket lists order-book heatmaps, footprints, CVD and liquidation maps on any market, and says a wrun indicator can read every order-book level, up to 500 a side, a vendor claim that was not independently measured. Bookmap's liquidity heatmap shows every limit order across all price levels as it updates in real time, alongside volume bubbles for executed volume and Nanosecond Zoom, which plots every update. Footprint and CVD appear among Bookmap's advanced add-ons in its packages table rather than as core features, and Multibook consolidates order books from up to 5 crypto exchanges into one chart. For futures depth, BookmapData delivers CME Group data with Market-by-Order, which is not available for stocks, and its MBO Bundle add-ons are built on that data. Both lists come from the vendors' own pages, last checked in October 2026.

Bookmap centres on recorded replay, while OpenMarket centres on a Strategy Tester for scripts. Bookmap's Record & Replay records live sessions and replays them tick by tick, including backtesting with full market depth, and it lists real-time simulated trading for crypto. OpenMarket's wrun strategies run in the chart's Strategy Tester, which produces a trade list, equity curve and stats; the orders are simulated, and wrun never places real orders. OpenMarket's assistant Kata can write an indicator from a plain-language description. On alerts, OpenMarket's Free plan allows 2 indicator alerts and Plus allows 25, with price alerts at 100 and 500, and alerts can go to Telegram, Discord, email or a webhook. An indicator alert needs a published version of the indicator and runs in OpenMarket's cloud. Bookmap lists price and volume alerts and filters among its core features. These details were last checked in October 2026 on the vendors' own pages.

OpenMarket covers more asset types, while Bookmap focuses on futures, stocks and crypto with direct data connections. OpenMarket states 16,000+ markets and data series, including 4,000+ crypto perpetuals and spot pairs across 29 venues, 5,500+ US stocks and ETFs, CME futures, options from 7 venues, 1,200+ currency pairs and prediction-market odds. For trading it offers Wallet Execution on Hyperliquid perpetuals, which is not available to Restricted Persons including US residents, and Brokerage Execution for US stocks and ETFs through Alpaca. Bookmap supports futures, stocks and crypto, with Rithmic, dxFeed and CQG Continuum for futures data and connection guides for Binance, OKX and Bybit. It offers one-click trading from the heatmap or DOM, but trading futures or stocks needs the Global+ plan, and Bookmap does not provide brokerage services itself. Last checked in October 2026.

Neither OpenMarket nor Bookmap presents itself as a broker. OpenMarket's Terms of Service name Thalamus Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as operator, while the homepage footer shows Openmarket Labs as the copyright holder. OpenMarket describes itself as a software provider that does not operate an exchange, act as a broker or dealer, or take custody of funds, and says orders go from the browser straight to the brokerage or venue. Bookmap's support page names Bookmap, LTD in Nicosia, Cyprus, and its footer says Bookmap Ltd; Bookmap states it does not provide brokerage services. Support is listed by Bookmap through email, chat, a voicemail line, Discord and a forum, with European and US sessions on weekdays, and no paid support tier was found. Both vendors display risk notices about trading. Last checked in October 2026 on the vendors' own pages.
