Mac Review: MacUpdate’s “Free” Update Service.
There are many ways to get updates of Mac applications. Apple’s Software Update is one. Two others are MacUpdate and VersionTracker. Here’s my view of both and January’s bonus offer. It’s free.
Trust me. I have a lot of Mac applications on my Mac and it’s a challenge to keep track of them all. Checking out new applications is fun. Keeping valued applications updated is not.
Where do you find the latest Mac apps? Mac sites, such as Mac360 and many others, offer reviews.... (excerpted).

VersionTracker invariably gives me many duplicate entries in NetNewsWire (who says it’s a common thing with VersionTracker.
MacUpdate is better for all the reasons Tera state in this article. If for no other reason to prefer MacUpdate…VersionTracker is a CNET property now and the ONLY thing they care about is ad impressions, and they’ll stop at nothing to get you to see as many pages as possible before getting you to the content.
