UpdateStar is an update manager like Software Informer, but it has some disadvantages:
- smaller database
- inflated user interface
- does not recognize installed applications correctly (for example the version number of Skype and other default applications are wrong, at 22 of 80 applications)
- the new version costs money

In my eyes UpdateStar is a bad application, Software Informer is much better!
