Deeper Lakebook alternative

If you like Lakebook, you'll love Horizon Sonar.

Lakebook (Deeper) and Horizon Sonar solve the same problem: keep your sonar recordings in the cloud and replay them from the browser. Horizon works with the recording format used by Horizon sonars, adds a marketplace to sell recordings, and a rewards system you can cash in for fishing gear.

Deeper Lakebook vs Horizon Sonar.

Why choose Horizon

What Lakebook doesn't have.

Built-in marketplace

Your recordings can be products. Other anglers buy a GPS trail of a lake you know well, you get paid. Zero platform fee during launch period.

Earn points by using the app

Uploading, selling, referring a friend — everything earns points. Cash them in for Chronocarpa gift cards from €10 to €250 in fishing gear.

Drag & drop, no app

No executable, no driver, no install. SD card in, drop the recording on the browser, done. Same on Mac, Windows, Linux and mobile.

Native to carp fishing

Wording, filters and UI are built for baitboat carp fishing. Not a generic app retrofitted — built for the niche.

Moving from Lakebook

If you're switching…

Check the format

Horizon reads recording. If your sonar records sonar data, you're good. If your Deeper exports to another format, today you can't upload it. More formats are on the roadmap.

Create an account

30 days free, no card. More than enough to upload several recordings and compare with Lakebook.

Keep what's yours

If you decide not to stay, one-click download for everything. Your files, your archive — no platform lock-in.

FAQ

Common questions when comparing.

What exactly is Deeper Lakebook?

Lakebook is the official web platform from Deeper Sonar (Deeper UAB, Lithuania). It lets you view, archive and share recordings made with Deeper sonars from the browser, without the mobile app. A cloud for Deeper users.

Why look for an alternative?

Reasons we hear: wanting a cloud not tied to one sonar brand, valuing extras like a marketplace and rewards, or preferring to work with a smaller European company with direct support.

Can I upload .dp5 from Deeper?

Not today. Horizon Sonar reads recordingss only (the Horizon sonar format). If your sonar doesn't export Horizon sonar recordings, this platform isn't for you yet. More formats are on the roadmap.

How much?

30 days free, no card. Then €2/month or €19.99/year. Buy a Horizon sonar and the first months come bundled depending on model.

Where is data stored?

EU servers, Backblaze B2 storage (EU). GDPR-compliant. Your files are yours — download and delete whenever.

Big company or boutique shop?

Boutique, Spanish. Nuntius Technology S.L., based in Rivas-Vaciamadrid (Madrid). Years in the carp niche with Navigator baitboats, Horizon sonars and direct support in 9 languages.
