What Novabench is

Novabench is a benchmark and network test suite for evaluating, comparing, and understanding computer performance. Its desktop application runs tests for CPU, GPU, memory, storage, and supported NPU performance on Windows, macOS, and Linux. An AI test measures local language model performance on compatible CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs; network tools cover speed measurements, traceroute, and DNS benchmarking. The free plan includes CPU, GPU, and VRAM stress tests, and results can be compared against a database of millions of results. The software can also run fully offline, and free testing does not require an account. Results can be exported as CSV, JSON, or PDF reports, with CLI or automation options available. Novabench says it limits collected data and has completed a SOC 2 Type 2 audit covering Security, Confidentiality, and Availability. Paid options add capabilities such as recurring tests, monitoring, fuller reports, and parallel stress testing. The Free plan costs nothing; Plus Monthly is $6 a month, Plus is $36 a year, and Pro is $216 a year.
