HI there,
Is there software, other than VersionTracker Pro (which costs $50 a year!), that will check for software updates for the fifty or sixty odd third-party software apps I use? Something like Apple's 'Software Update', but for third-party software.
Thanks for any advice,
Malcolm

Not really, but a lot of apps now check for themselves when you run them. All of Omnigroup's offerings, and pretty much all of my other apps now do this.

Macupdate have a similar piece of software to Versiontracker, for slightly less.

For substantially less, there's Renew, which is written/maintained by a student developer.

Thanks for the suggestion, staph! I'll check this out.
