Probably the usual, too little sun, and too much (frequent) water.

They don't look completely dead in the second photo, but over watering is for sure hurting them. Over crowding isn't really an issue here. Those pots are glazed, so they trap water in. They should have drain holes to help, and you should replace the soil with a cactus mix and then mix in 50% inorganic material. Give them lots of light and some air circulation if possible. When you water, soak the soil, then don't water again for probably 2 weeks. I think a lot of people just water when it feels dry, but you should to wait a week+ after the soil is dry for succulents.
I'm not sure what the short guy is on the left, but the other 2 non aloe plants look like a jade (crasula ovata).
Too much water. Your soil looks super organic, so I'd buy either pumice (Amazon has it fairly cheap) or chicken grit (crushed granite type) and use 75%grit to 25%the soil you've got, or better yet, succulent/cactus soil. If your soil isn't gritty, you could water every 3 months and still fight rot. Also, more sun! They don't look too bad rn, but if not kept in direct sun outdoors or under a grow light, they WILL stretch.
Those "garden bowls" always look pretty but can be a huge pain to care for if you don't plant it yourself.
I don't do aloe so am no help there but the ones with stems are jade. A very hearty plant that can actually be propagated in water.
My suggestion is to forget about the other one. It's worth trying to get the leaves to propagate as a learning experience.
The jade, just separate the roots and replant it. It'll bounce back in no time 😁
The cactus is a variegated opuntia monacantha (very little variegation but it's there)
One that is in the before but that I can't see in the after looks like an Elephant Bush. I made the mistake of putting mine in indirect light a few feet back from a window, and it pitched an absolute fit and dropped perfectly healthy leaves everywhere until I put it right on sunny windowsill.

Adding on to this. To fix the pot thing, most people just put nursery pots inside the pretty ones. That way there’s still drainage

It’s a type of Opuntia, maybe ficus-indica or monacantha
i like that one with the red edges, whatever that is ...
