Several good plugins for cheap. Of particular note, the PuigChild for $49 (usually $99+ when on sale). There's % off coupons to be found as well.
I've had the PuigChild for a while now and it does a fantastic job smoothing out mixes as part of my mastering chain. I've used it some at track level as well, but already have some good go-to compressors that I'm familiar with for track level stuff. As a vocal or drum compressor it's solid. I really think it shines best when placed before a hard limiter as a mastering tool though.
