If I navigate to pricing page, I can see even the community version provides a “complete feature-set”, but the advertisement claim that the free version is only lacking the enterprise repo and the support. This brought me to the question: what else is missing if unpaid? I’m evaluating whether to purchase a subscription since I don’t need the enterprise repo, because except from the out-of-box softwares I mostly download them from the official site. I might need the proxmox support but I’m also not sure, it would just be a insurance in case I need a support.
[SOLVED] What feature is missing in PVE 7.4 without subscription?

and is this repo for updating proxmox-related package? could I get proxmox-related package via iso update or any other live update?
There are three repositories:
New/updated packages are pushed (with time in between) into the respective repository in the above order (so: after internal testing, into 1, then into 2, then into 3).
Afaik, all packages are ever identical; so there are no feature (or anything else) differences.
Having no subscription and therefore using the:
If you do not have a subscription, see here: [4] how to set up your PVE-host to get updates.

In addition to what others said:
Some (or even all??) companies need to have a person that can be asked in case of a problem or an error. That person could be internal or for most companies external via general software support. This is where a (non entry-level) subscription comes into play. Often you pay someone just to ask them for support if you have an error.
The entry-level subscription without support is for people like me (and many others) that can solve problems themselves, but still want to support the great product Proxmox VE.

Can I concluded that it’s only the enterprise repo and the support it is missing? I was confused that they listed complete feature-set and enterprise repo separately.
The packages and features are the same between enterprise repo and no subscription repo. (The packages are first release in no subscription, then a little be latter in the enterprise repo).
You also have an extra feature in no-subscription, the nagscreen at login ^_^
