Using the Add-On Manager 
The following answer applies to MATLAB version R2015b or later only. 
View and manage all installed add-ons using the Add-On Manager.  
To open the Add-On Manager: 
1. In MATLAB, go to the Home tab. 
2. Select Add-Ons > Manage Add-Ons. 
MATLAB displays a list of MathWorks products, toolboxes, and add-ons installed on your machine. 
To view the function list for an add-on: 
1. Select the add-on in the Add-On Manager. 
2. In the options menu on the right of the add-on, select View in Add-On Explorer. The Functions tab shows the list of functions included with the add-on.

Yes, but not "Add-ons" like the question said. ver gives only MATLAB version and toolboxes, not other Add-ons like you get from the Add-ons manager. For example I have the "Deep Learning Toolbox Model for Alexnet Network" installed (through the Add-on manager), yet it does not show up when I type ver.
The only ways to see what Toolboxes and Add-ons you have installed is to use the Add-On Manager on the Home tab of the tool ribbon, OR programmatically on the command line,as the Mathworks answer also showed.

A programmatic way to list all user-installed toolboxes, available since R2016a. Note, these are not the same as MATLAB Toolboxes that appear in the ver command.
Returns a 1xn structure array
toolboxes =
1×2 struct array with fields:
Name
Version
Guid
List toolbox names
tbnames = {toolboxes.Name}'
tbnames =
2×1 cell array
{'Crystal ball toolbox' }
{'Fix my bugs toolbox' }
