    There really isn't much. Mediachance started work on something similar, but stopped after a few beta releases. Particle Illusion and Effects Lab are similar, and fill the same niche. WAX2 and ZS4 are more general compositors. WAX2 is free. ZS4 offers a lot for free, then you pay for the rest.

    Then you get into the big boys

    After Effects
    Combustion
    Digital Fusion
    Shake (no longer available for Windows, sadly)
    Nuke

  4. After Effects only does the particle stuff in the Production Bundle, which no normal human can afford. Unless you regularly pony up $2000+ for software.

    Wax 2 is worth a look. It does some particle effects.

    Trapcode do a nice 3D particle plugin for AE at a good price. If there was a price cap I would not have included Fusion, either.
