Some good news for a change !!!
After failing big with subscription model GameMaker goes:
- FREE - Free To Use - meaning all platforms except consoles are free for non-commercial purposes
- PROFESSIONAL - One-Time Purchase - $99.99 - commercial licence - you can sell your games and earn $
- ENTERPRISE - $79.99 monthly - commercial license with console exports added
- all GameMaker asset bundles will now be free for everyone

I love using GameMaker for 2d and I recommend it almost all the time above other engines.
But because of their often changes in pricing and roadmap, I also recommend you to start with free tier.
Especially now where you can export and test your game on any platform except consoles.
That means you can develop and test complete game for desktop, web, mobile without spending a dime on engine !
Then, if everything works and game has earning potential, you buy professional license and start selling your game.

So, in short, go with FREE as long as you can.
If you make complete and sellable game, then buy permanent license.
If they don't change something again, in meantime.
