Markov vs Bookmap

What Bookmap is

Bookmap is a desktop order-flow platform built around its order book heatmap. Its free Digital plan includes real-time crypto from Binance, Bitfinex and 20+ more connections. Paid plans add more symbols, add-ons, replay, trading from the chart and DOM, and futures and stock data bought separately.

What Bookmap does well

Its heatmap reads far deeper order books than Markov's, at finer resolution.
Futures and stocks as well as crypto, with data from BookmapData, dxFeed and Rithmic.
Record and replay, trading from the chart, and a large add-on catalogue.

Where Markov differs

It runs in the browser with no install, free for BTC, ETH and SOL with no account.
It puts realized liquidations, whale prints, open interest and this hour's funding on the same chart as the book. The funding pane is on Pro.
Every number names its source and says whether it is measured or modeled.
Its book is coarser, with Hyperliquid's ~20 levels a side at two resolutions (plus Binance and OKX on Pro, and Bybit and Lighter on Elite). It covers crypto only, with 8 coins.

Measured or modeled, topic by topic.
