Port Scanner Software review
A focused Windows port scanner for basic one-time host and range checks.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Port Scanner Software is a Windows desktop utility from Sobolsoft for administrators who need a straightforward way to inspect server ports. It scans specified hosts and checks a range of server port addresses, then reports which ports are open or closed. The product is aimed at basic security checks and server reviews rather than broad network management. Its direct desktop installer and focused workflow suit users who want a one-time Windows tool for occasional scans.
Pricing is simple: the Port Scanner Software plan costs $19.99 as a one-time purchase. The plan includes scanning specified hosts, checking a range of server port addresses, and identifying open and closed ports. This licensing model may suit an individual administrator or small team that prefers a single purchase over an ongoing subscription. The trade-off is that the product is paid, while the category also includes free alternatives.
The product’s main strength is its narrow focus. It provides the core scan scope described for the utility—hosts and port ranges—and presents the result as open or closed ports. That makes it easier to match the tool to a defined desktop scanning task, but it also limits its appeal for buyers seeking a wider feature set. Choose Port Scanner Software for basic, one-time Windows scans with a direct installer and clear port-status reporting. Choose an alternative if your work requires broader capabilities beyond the published scanning functions.
