1. Classes and archetypes
The release version has 25 classes, each of which has 6 or 7 archetypes for a total of 161 archetypes.
Then there are 13 prestige classes.
It's a huge selection, which doesn't make for an easy choice at character creation
Fextralife is known for their reviews and guides, especially on Youtube where they explore a lot of classes and multiclasses of well-known RPGs; I think there are more than 50 videos for Divinity: Original Sin 2. They also did a few for Pathfinder: Kingmaker. Those guides are interesting because they present a good summary of all the possibilities, including some precious pieces of advice.
On their website, there is apparently a quite complete class guide that includes the current archetypes and the prestige classes.
Mortismal Gaming is less known at the moment but he also covers many RPGs including classic ones, for example he has a series on the story of Kingmaker. He also releases his "100% review" videos which are pretty interesting.
Now that the beta of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is released, they are tackling this game as well! Which is good because, with all the classes and archetypes, character creation can be a long task! :lol:
Updates after beta 2 are linked as "(2)" below, they only contain additional info. And since beta 3 added even more archetypes, new videos are linked with "(3)".
Alchemist, Arcansist (2), Barbarian (2), Bard, Bloodrager (2) (3)

Cavalier (3), Cleric (2), Druid (2) (3), Fighter (2), Hunter (3)

2. Prestige classes
An overview of the prestige classes by Mortismal Gaming:
Detailed videos:
Duelist, Mystic Theurge, Hellknight, Hellknight Signifer, Assassin
Eldritch Knight, Stalwart Defender, Student of War, Arcane Trickster, Dragon Disciple
Aldori Swordlord, Winter Witch
Note: d20PFSRD is also a good reference tool, though I've been told the Archives of Nethys was a more accurate one since made in collaboration with Paizo.
There are many offline documents that can be downloaded from d20PFSRD here - bear in mind that the two Pathfinder games use the 1st edition of Pathfinder, and that there are differences (mythic paths, archetypes and prestige classes coming from different add-ons). For example, the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Reference Document may be a good substitute if you don't own the Core Rulebook.
