I'm new to working on a specific WordPress site that has over 50 plugins installed. Is there a technical thing I can do in WordPress or in a code editor like Visual Studio Code (i.e. search something?), to determine which of the 50 are free, or which of the 50 are premium plugins?

Reset to default 3Usually premium plugins that came with the purchase of a theme are updated via an external updater, not the wordpress built-in one. That could be one of the clues.
One obvious clue would be that the plugin has some kind of login/licence key system.
But when it comes to taking a look in the code, I'm afraid it's not an option cause the paid features can be implemented differently on every plugin.
