- R Statistics, a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics, contains several functions to trace heat maps
- Gnuplot, a universal and free command-line plotting program, can trace 2D and 3D heat maps
- The Google Docs spreadsheet application includes a Heat Map gadget, but for country-wise data only, not for general matrix data.
- Qlucore includes a heat map that is dynamically updated when filter parameters are changed.
- The ESPN Gamecast for soccer games uses heat maps to show where certain players have spent time on the field.
- GENE-E is a matrix visualization and analysis platform designed to support visual data exploration.
- By searching the List of bioinformatics companies more tools for heat maps can be found.
- Microsoft Excel can be used to generate heat maps using the Surface Chart. Though the default color range for Surface Charts in Excel is not conducive to heat maps, the colors can be edited to generate user-friendly and intuitive heat maps.
