When looking for plugins how do people sort through all the ‘free’ plugins that sound great but are actually ‘fremuim’ where all the key features are actually in a PRO version?

How do you locate the fully featured proper open source plugins that are well maintained and used?

    Yeah ok the wording was a bit blase and Im new to the group so Ill take the burn…but Im working for free on a community group website. Im aware that there are great communities out there doing amazing work on Opensource projects. I like to find them use and learn about them and then contribute however I can. (e.g Very keen Openstreetmaper) I was just feeling lost when i kept finding sites that said open source but then had PRO versions.
