Yes, there are other options - I know that there is a Dutch IC commuter train between Amsterdam and Brussels, with a stop in Antwerp, and 2 other options from Paris to Brussels (TGV InOUI, and Ouigo, the second of which is cheaper). Eurostar is what I would think of as a premium rail service. I recommend you use the national carrier websites like b-europe.com or nsinternational.com to buy your tickets because they don't carry extra fees unlike third party websites. However if you are really on a budget, I agree that perhaps Flixbus or car sharing like Bla Bla Car might be more helpful for you.

Plenty of IC trains from Amsterdam to Antwerp. Prices depend on when you are going and time of day, but around €25 one way on NS International's website. Some you have to change trains 2 or three times, others one change at Schiphol, always really easy and adjacent platforms.
Have a look at Belgian railways website too.

As mentioned by Lavandula, there’s a slower and much cheaper way to travel from Paris to Antwerp without taking Eurostar.
You can take the OUIGO Train Classique from Paris to Brussels, which runs on the conventional (non-high-speed) line.
Once you arrive at Brussels-Midi, you can simply hop on a regular Belgian domestic train (SNCB) to Antwerp.
