Hi duhast2017,

 

1. The Evaluation will expired after 180 days. And the Developer can't be used for business purpose. 

2. Both Evaluation and Developer provide same technical features.

    Business Purpose means production environment. I think to clarify this means to use PBIRS to deliver reports and/or data to end users with production data. The developer edition can be used to develop reports in a development environment, this reports can be moved up to a production environment that has the appropriate production environment licensing.
