I built this because MacUpdater shut down on me and nothing replaced it properly. The reason MacUpdater died is that it maintained a hand-fed database of every Mac app's versions, and that is unsustainable for one small team. Floodtide does it the other way round: it reads each app's own update source directly, either its Sparkle feed or the Homebrew cask catalogue. Nothing to maintain, so nothing to go stale. It also tells you honestly which apps it cannot handle instead of pretending. £19.99 one time, 14 day full trial, covers 3 Macs. No telemetry unless you switch it on. Happy to answer anything about coverage, including where it falls short.
