Your Essential After Effects plugins, why, and what their respective purposes are?

Hello! I am a novice After Effects dabbler, but I am very serious about improving my skills and seeing where it takes me--mainly for entertainment, like TikTok video editing and graphics + motion. With that being said, I am extremely overwhelmed with all of the plugin options out there. I've heard of Twixtor, Twitch, Magic Bullet looks the most often, but I would really like to see what everyone else uses. If it makes a difference, I currently operate with a 2020 MacBook Pro.

Don't worry too much about how much they cost as I'm mainly looking for trends among the answers to narrow down my list, though I would appreciate cheaper plugins that are just as good as some that might be hundreds of dollars if possible.

Thank you in advance for your replies! I'm very excited to up my creative game.
