Difference between Premium and Pro for connecting to (on-prem) data sources

Is there any difference at all in (local on-prem) data sources you can connect to depending on whether you have a Premium or Pro license? Current structure is Ax2009 and D365 that are feeding an on-prem cube that’s connected to Power BI. Anything we should consider?
