Hi @Anonymous,

If you only work for tests, pro licenses may be suitable for the embedded feature usages. (it provides some trial tokens for embedded feature usages) If you are working in the production environment, a premium license should be better, it does not limit the token usages.

For the difference between power bi licenses, you can take a look at the following link:

Power BI service features by license type - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

In addition, you can also check the following link to know more about power bi premium lincese.

@Anonymous , with Power BI pro, you can not integrate RLS with your application. Also, parameters are visual in the URL, you can not pass them hidden.

In case plan to control , user and parameter, you need to go for power BI embedded
