Looking for a NetWorx alternative?
NetWorx is a solid, lightweight data-usage meter. If you mainly want to know how many gigabytes you've used this month, it does that well. "Why is my internet bad right now, and is it my ISP?" is a different question - and that's the one Copper Goose Network Monitor answers.
What NetWorx does well
NetWorx from SoftPerfect is actively maintained. It watches your usage against your ISP's limits and alerts you or takes action when you cross a threshold. It's a one-time purchase, and there's a 30-day free trial.
Which one fits
Choose NetWorx if…
- Keeping within your ISP's usage limits is the main job.
Choose Copper Goose if…
- You want to know whether a slowdown is your Wi-Fi, your router or your ISP.
- You want a plain-English result and a timestamped log you can export for the support call.
- You also want your usage tracked against a limit, with warnings at 80% and 100%.
What Copper Goose Network Monitor does
- Learns what normal looks like on your own line - no plan speed to enter, nothing to configure.
- Names the part at fault in plain English: your Wi-Fi, a cable, the router, the fibre box or your ISP.
- Detects a weak Wi-Fi link, including when Windows still shows full bars.
- Says when other devices on your network are filling the line.
- Spots an Ethernet cable or port that has dropped to half its usual link speed.
- Logs every drop and slowdown with the time and the measured figures, and exports the log as a report for your ISP.
- Shows live download and upload speed, and tracks data usage against a limit you set, with warnings at 80% and 100%.
