Lightroom vs Lightroom Photoshop vs Classic (lost and confused)

I am looking at a subscription plan and the Adobe website (France) shows me options (a table) for:

  • 'Creative Cloud', which includes Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, Photoshop, 20 gb cloud storage, ++++
  • 'Lightroom', which includes Lightroom, 1to cloud storage and a couple of odds and ends

So I downloaded the Lightroom (only) option as a trial and the software shows as (under 'About Lightroom' menu) : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, Version 5.0.

And I tried to find some info about the differences between the Lightroom version that I am trying, vs the Classic version. Amongst the info found includes a quote (from a comparative review earlier this year) stating that Classic has extra functions, including HDR and panorama merging. However, the Lightroom trial that I am using has HDR and pano merging (and very good they are too).

Is anyone able to provide a simple list (or link to) that summarises the differences? Any help much appreciated.
