Exocharts
Footprint, DOM and tape desktop for crypto and CME — 49 euro a month, execution on Bybit.
Last updated
What it is
An order-flow charting platform in two clients that share one account — a desktop application for Windows and Apple Silicon Macs, and a lighter web app. Footprint clusters, volume and delta profiles, POC and value area, TPO and market profile, liquidations, open interest, net longs and shorts, several kinds of VWAP, and on desktop a DOM, a tape and a replay engine. The publisher is UAB Reaktyvinės idėjos of Vilnius, trading as Exocharts.
The engine is theirs. The vendor describes the desktop client as a fusion of JavaFX and Chromium with an OpenGL layer, and puts its safe limit at 15 million bid-ask clusters in a single rendering frame against 10,000 to 20,000 in a browser. That claim is unverifiable from outside, but the shape of it checks out — the two web bundles contain no trace of TradingView, Lightweight Charts, ChartIQ, DXcharts, Highcharts or KLineChart, which is unusual in this category and is the reason the product's feature list does not look like everybody else's.
It sells the split between the two clients honestly, which is rarer. The help centre's own comparison marks the web app as having no drawing tools, no workspaces, no non-time candles, no Big Trades, no replay, no DOM, no tape, no chart sync, no position tool and no trading. The desktop processes trades locally; the web app receives what the vendor's servers have already prepared. Most traders on the paid plan get both.
Trading arrived in January 2026 and covers one venue. You paste a read-write Bybit API key into the Connection Manager and trade spot, linear and inverse from the chart, the DOM or the order form, with your orders and position drawn in the same window as the order flow. The key is entered in the desktop client and the trading documentation says the feature exists there and nowhere else; what it does not say is whether the key is held on your machine or on the vendor's servers, and that is worth asking before you paste one in.
Pricing
In euros, plus VAT of the payer's country, and that second half is easy to miss — the price table does not show it and the FAQ underneath mentions it twice.
Desktop Pro is 49 EUR a month month-to-month, 43 EUR a month if you pay for three at once and 38 EUR a month for six. Web Premium is 28, 25 and 23 EUR on the same three periods. Desktop Pro includes the web app with ten live charts; Web Premium does not include Desktop Pro, which stays in free mode.
The free mode is a real product rather than a countdown. There is no trial period to run out: Desktop Pro installs and runs with no registration at all, restricted to pairs whose underlying is SHIBA, DOGE or SOLANA — around seventy of them, the vendor says, on every supported crypto exchange. The dxFeed connector is off in free mode. On the web, an unregistered visitor gets a chart in offline mode with a 24-hour delay, and a registered free account gets live data on a few selected pairs and periods.
The vendor's own FAQ disagrees with the vendor's own price table. The FAQ says Desktop Pro is 46 EUR a month on the three-month plan where the table says 43, and describes the six-month web plan as 15% off where the toggle above it is badged 23%. The table is the half that has to be right at checkout; the numbers on this card come from it.
Card and PayPal only. Crypto is not accepted, and the vendor gives a reason — tax legislation — rather than leaving it unexplained.
Data & coverage
Exocharts runs its own collectors for crypto and rents everything else. The help centre's platform comparison, updated 8 September 2026, lists the desktop coverage as Bybit, Binance, OKX and Bitget in both futures and spot, plus Hyperliquid, Coinbase spot and WOO X futures. The web app carries Bybit, OKX and Binance Futures. Legacy markets — CME, CBOT, COMEX, NYMEX, Eurex, Nasdaq — arrive through a dxFeed or Rithmic connection, and both are subscriptions you buy yourself from those vendors. dxFeed is sold by Devexperts, whose charting library is catalogued here as DXcharts; buying Exocharts buys none of that data.
The marketing site is a version behind on this. The pricing FAQ still lists the ticker plants as BitMEX, Bybit USD, Bybit Spot, Binance Spot, Binance USD-M, Binance COIN-M and Binance US — a list with no OKX, no Bitget, no Hyperliquid and no Coinbase in it. When the two disagree, the help centre is the half that gets edited.
History, as claimed on that same stale page, is up to six years of tick-by-tick crypto data with open interest and liquidations attached, and two years on dxFeed, with new pairs added automatically within about thirty seconds. Nothing on the site dates those figures and nothing in the help centre restates them, so treat the six years as the vendor's claim rather than a checked number.
Two of the vendor's own support articles are about its data being wrong, which is worth more than any coverage table. One explains why liquidation bubbles land in the wrong place on Bybit (updated 19 September 2026); the other explains why Bybit BTC/USDT volume differs between the desktop and the web client (22 July 2026). Both are honest and both tell you the same thing — the two clients are separate pipelines, and on the same pair they do not always agree.
The 3.7.0 release removed a fixed 15-second delay. Until June 2026 every chart opened with a mandatory "collecting live data, please wait" pause; the release notes say data now comes from Exocharts' servers with a maximum 100 ms gap and the only wait left is the exchange handshake.
Integrations
There are none to speak of, and the card is better for saying so plainly. No REST or WebSocket API is documented in the help centre and none is named on the features or pricing pages. No webhooks. No scripting language — indicators are the ones shipped, configured rather than written. No MCP server.
What does leave the product is bar statistics as .xlsx, on both the web and desktop clients, plus templates, themes and workspaces that import and export as files. The support channel of record is a Discord community, which the vendor points at before its own ticket queue.
The two connectors are the integrations. dxFeed reaches CME, NYMEX, Eurex and Nasdaq with
around 85,000 instruments available to buy, and Rithmic arrived in the 3.7.0 release for market
data, with three connection types including R|API+ and R|Trader. Rithmic trading is disabled
while conformance and provisioning run, and the vendor has published an article explaining that
Rithmic cannot reconstruct aggregated market orders — so the order-flow numbers on a Rithmic
instrument are not computed the same way as on a crypto one.
Limitations
- Execution is one exchange. Bybit, desktop only, since January 2026. Everything else on the venue list is a chart you cannot trade from. Rithmic execution is promised for autumn 2026 and is not shipped.
- The public site contradicts the manual about whether trading exists at all. The pricing FAQ says the feature "is not available on the Exocharts Desktop Pro platform" and that the web version will never get it. The second half is still true; the first has been wrong since January.
- Apple Silicon only on the Mac. The download page says Intel Macs are not supported, that macOS blocks the first launch because the build is not distributed through the App Store, and that some antivirus and VPN suites quarantine the installer mid-download.
- The web app is frozen. Both of its JavaScript chunks were last modified on 24 March 2025, eighteen months before this card was written, while the desktop shipped 3.7.0 on 4 June 2026. "Desktop Pro is our main focus" is on the vendor's own FAQ, and the build dates agree with it.
- One device at a time on Desktop Pro, and the web charts are limited by plan.
- No alerts. A search of the help centre returns no article about price or condition alerts, and neither the features nor the pricing page lists them. This is a chart to sit in front of, not something to leave running.
- No portfolio, no positions history, no journal. The product draws order flow and, on Bybit, the position you have open right now. It is not where your P&L lives.
- Prices exclude VAT, which for an EU consumer is another fifth on top of the figure in the table.
Alternatives
The closest comparisons are the futures-world order-flow desktops that added crypto connectors: ATAS and Quantower, both of which trade many more venues than one, and Bookmap if the order book rather than the footprint is what you are reading. All three are the same purchase decision made differently, and all three are priced in dollars.
If you want the footprint without installing anything, CoinAnk puts order-flow footprint and volume profile in a browser alongside a derivatives screener, and it is free to look at.
If the reason you are here is execution across venues rather than the chart, Tealstreet is free over twenty-odd venues and the rest of the shelf is at crypto trading terminals.

Also worth comparing
- ATAS — Footprint and DOM platform for eight crypto exchanges, free tier included.
- Bookmap — Order-book heatmap over 20-odd crypto exchanges — but the merged book cannot be traded.
- Quantower — Windows order-flow desktop with 17 crypto connections and a crypto-only licence tier.
- Altrady — Multi-exchange trading workspace — smart orders, scanners, bots and a journal.
- Coinigy — One of the oldest multi-exchange workspaces — 38 venues charted, 13 of them traded.
- CoinRoutes — Institutional EMS with a dozen named algos, smart routing and a consolidated book.
Background
How this part of the industry works, rather than which product to pick.
- Why this market won't quote you a price — Two products in five publish no price for at least one tier. What sets the fee when no list exists, where the silence falls, and what to ask before a demo.
FAQ
Can you trade from Exocharts?
Yes, on Bybit, and only from the desktop application. You add a read-write Bybit API key in the Connection Manager and trade spot, linear and inverse from the chart, the DOM or the order form. The vendor's own pricing FAQ still says the trading feature is not available at all — that page is out of date; the trading documentation was published on 16 January 2026 and the manual describes the workflow in detail. Execution on legacy futures through Rithmic is promised for autumn 2026.
Which exchanges does Exocharts have data for?
On desktop, Bybit, Binance, OKX and Bitget in both futures and spot, plus Hyperliquid, Coinbase spot and WOO X futures, with CME, CBOT, COMEX, NYMEX, Eurex and Nasdaq reachable through a dxFeed or Rithmic subscription you buy yourself. The web app carries Bybit, OKX and Binance Futures only.
Is Exocharts free?
There is a free mode rather than a time-limited trial. The desktop application runs without registration on pairs whose underlying is SHIBA, DOGE or SOLANA — the vendor says around 70 altcoin pairs — with no dxFeed. On the web, an unregistered visitor gets an offline chart delayed 24 hours; a registered free account gets live data on a few pairs and a few periods.
Does Exocharts run on an Intel Mac?
No. The download page offers a Windows 10+ 64-bit installer and a Mac ARM build only, and states that Intel-based Macs are not supported. It also warns that the Mac build is blocked on first launch and that some antivirus and VPN suites quarantine the installer.
Does Exocharts have an API?
Not one it sells. There is no API article in the help centre and neither the features page nor the pricing page names one; the only API in the product is the exchange key you paste in to trade. Data leaves as an .xlsx export of bar statistics, which both the web and desktop clients can write.
