App vs User Owns Data

So I know the biggest difference between the two is that with User Owns Data (UOD) the user needs to log-in to their Power BI account and then they can only see the reports that they made or the ones that are shared with them. But are there any differences functionalty wise? And with UOD you don't have to use a embedToken so would I still need to order capacity while using UOD?

Thanks for your reply @Eric_Zhang!

 

Power BI Premium is a required for UOD? You can make use of the shared capacity, right?

I too would also like to know this for UserOwnsData side. I understand the licensing and usage of AppOwnsData well, just not used UOD.

With User owns data you do NOT need a premium capacity you can embed assets that have been shared to users from shared capacities
