"Retail X" is the license required to run the class you want (core as you mentioned), it's basically a key required to use the loader. It is a one time purchase, meaning, once you buy (e.g. Retail Rogue), you'll never need that class license again.
Once you have a class license or "key" you can use free rotations, but they're not going to perform anywhere near the level of paid developers. As for Classic, you would only need the free rotation as it performs just as well as any Classic rotation on any other paid provider (on GGL or a competitor).
A private subscription is a more secure version of the loader.
If you want to play another spec, you can either transfer your existing class license to a different class for a small fee, or you can buy another class license outright. They are 75€ each. Most people buy the AIO as it inevitably becomes cheaper.

This might have been true 5 years ago when they were the only ones in the scene, but I tell you 100% the cost has nothing to do with deterring customers at all. The core itself is actually not that badly priced, it's the 3rd party rotations that are astronomical priced and usually 3x-4x more a month than the actual core product, and I can tell you 1st hand that the rotation performance is not always better than other available options, while I'm not discounting GGL 3rd party devs, I think it would be a flat-out lie to say its best all-around in its current state.
1. QOL is far behind other rotations
2. The product is constantly behind on updates, sometimes weeks at a time (Aug Soon)?
3. The cost of rotations is insanely expensive
4. GGL is actually a modified version of AHK
5. Binding is done manually (other than the tool that a 3rd party just made that partially automates some of it)
I will however say that GGL is good in general, and is best at PVP, only because other pixel bots have not bothered to get involved in PVP. I will also say that they have been safe for many years, not because they have elite security, but mostly because there has been no focus on the product from Blizzard themselves. I have said this before, and I'll say it again: when 90% of the population is using one thing, it's usually that product that Blizzard is going to gravitate to and focus on to make examples out of; we have seen this as of recent, and we will likely see it again when something else becomes dominate.
If you're a PVP'r I 100% agree that it's the best around at this time, but if you're into PVE content, I do not agree; there are far better all-around alternatives with less drama from their 3rd party developers (you know who you are), that give you excellent value for your money and have constant updates and less drama and price gouging involved.
I would even suggest that players look at AimSharp for PVE over GGL at this point in time.
