Obtainium.
By ImranR98
Obtainium installs and updates Android apps from their own release pages and can notify you when a release appears. ImranR98's readme lists sources such as GitHub, GitLab, Forgejo, F-Droid, and IzzyOnDroid, and it gives the package id dev.imranr.obtainium. The app itself is offered through GitHub releases, IzzyOnDroid, and an F-Droid flavour. The readme does not state a monetary price. The repository license is GPL-3.0.
The F7 Insight
Obtainium is a catalogue of other people's release pages. The point is to update an app from the place its developer actually ships it, which is a different job from a single store client.
