Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
NetWorx is a local bandwidth and Internet-connection monitoring utility for individuals and businesses. It records upload and download activity, produces daily, weekly and monthly reports, monitors per-application usage, and tracks ping times and downtime. Support for Windows, macOS and Linux makes it suitable for personal computers, small sites and organisations that want usage visibility without a recurring subscription. Installer and portable packages are available for supported systems.
Pricing is built around perpetual licences and a fully featured 30-day trial. Home — Single device costs $15 one-time, while Business — Single device costs $39 one-time. Home — Up to 5 devices is $29, and Business — Up to 5 devices is $99. Home — Up to 10 devices costs $49, while Business — Up to 10 devices costs $159. The Business tiers add business licensing, and a Business — Site licence covers unlimited devices within one organisation site. Listed prices exclude local taxes.
The feature set reaches beyond basic desktop usage counters. NetWorx provides real-time monitoring, historical reports, configurable actions when activity exceeds a threshold, scheduled or on-demand connection speed tests, and automatic reports by email or file output. It can monitor local adapters as well as compatible remote SNMP or UPnP devices, giving small environments a broader view of network activity. The product is a strong fit for buyers prioritising low one-time cost, local installation and practical reporting. Organisations needing topology maps or a free plan should look elsewhere.
