And that's just two companies - here's the channel strip page on plugin boutique.
Basically it's rabbit hole and it goes deep.
For 9 out of 10 male vocals though sticking an EQ with a high pass around 120Hz, 5dB cut between 250 to 400Hz and a slight boost around 6 to 8K ... add a compression with a 4:1 ratio, medium attack, adjust threshold till your see'ing around 7dB of gain reduction on the loudest bit
Set up 2 aux buses send one to a reverb, one to a delay .... adjust to taste but a good starting point is echo time set to BMP with 2 repeats and set the reverb so it's got a lot of length but only 25% wet
Personally when it comes to verbs I prefer one master one and everything sends to that. It's less processor intensive and adds a bit of glue ... plus it's what we did when studios only had one or 2 good reverbs
My favourites for vocals:
EQ: Fabfilter Pro Q, Empirical Labs Big Freq
Compression: Fabfilter Pro C2, Emprical Labs Arouser
De-Esser: Fabfilter Pro DS, Sonnox SuprEsser
Reverb: Liquid Sonics Seventh Heaven, Various Valhalla Reverbs.

It’s not an all in one, it is a brilliant EQ - been using for years. It’s really worth trying!

I like to use channel strip eqs and 1176 style comps.
Brainworkx refinement is cool for taming harshness and adding saturation.
Valhalla reverb’s and delays are mint.
Izotope have a free plugin for a double tracked style effect which is quite nice on certain vocals.

Also, a huge fucking boost at 12K for the kiddzzzzzz
For vocals - I'd start with any subtractive EQ (before you buy anything, try what comes with your DAW), and a LA2A style compressor plugin.
Klanghelm has some free plugins, and some cheap ones. Unlike many other free/cheap plugins, these rival the quality of the very best in the industry.
I also use Plugin Alliance. Many high quality plugins, and affordable as long as you buy during sales and use price reduction vouchers.

My voice has changed a huge amount over 20 years and in my first session yesterday I was having huge trouble getting it away from my throat.
sore this morning so I need to start again really.

Bandcamp
Spotify, Apple et al
walk into studio. Sing.
Come back later when the engineer has done his thing.
Mind you, I was capable of delivering a competent vocal then.
