Power BI comes in 2 parts, online and desktop. The desktop part of Power BI is a free piece of software you can download and install to run on your machine. The idea being that you create and perfect your dashboards before you share them by publishing them online.
After you've created a dashboard you can be proud of, you can then click on the publish button to publish the dashboard online. Once the dashboard is online, you can start sharing.
This is the full paid version of Power BI. It is a cloud-based self-service analytics too. It allows you to use the dashboards you've either published or created online to be embedded into apps, shared with users and intergrated with other Microsoft solutions.
Power BI Premium is the version best suited for larger enterprise organisations with many users. Consider it a super upgrade of Power BI Pro. On top of the features and functionality you'd receive in Power BI Pro, you also receive increased data capacity limits, maximum performance, access to one API service, and many other features.
