Premium capacity vs Premium per user capacity

Hi Team,

 

Need help in understanding pros and cons of Premium Capacity and Premium Per user capacity w.r.t dataflow . Any pointers to understand the difference better is of great help to analyze  one of our new requirements.

 

Thanks,

Swathi

    Previously, Power BI Premium was based on capacity, making it relatively unsuitable for individuals and small teams. To better serve customers, Power BI has introduced Premium Per User(PPU), a new approach to per-user licensing of premium features. 

    Premium Per User (PPU) includes all Power BI Pro license capabilities, and also adds features such as paginated reports, AI, and other capabilities that are only available to Premium subscribers. Advanced dataflows features, such as DirectQuery, are also supported in the PPU.

    While PPU offers most of the premium features for individual users, it differs significantly from Power BI Premium in terms of Share.You cannot have a dataflow run in a PPU workspace, be imported into a Power BI dataset in another workspace, and then allow users without a PPU license to consume the content
