Refreshing with PowerBI Free user

$

I'm a bit confused because of licensing of PowerBI and Personal Gateway.

 

I have MSSQL Express with some data. I have PowerBI Desktop with some reports. I have account on app.powerbi.com, reports are Published (manually from PowerBI desktop). So far so good.

 

I have Power Bi Gateway personal installed, which after login says "Connected: You're good to go!" (and windows credentials are given too). So I'm... good to go, but data is not being refreshed.

 

When I click in web PowerBI, Datasets -> Schedule refresh, it says "This dataset contains on-premises data sources. To schedule data refresh, try Power BI Pro for 60 days, or contact your Office 365 tenant administrator to purchase Power BI Pro."
So it is quite clear that it is not free, but some says it is.

 

https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/
"Consume content that is scheduled to refresh:
FREE: Daily
PRO: Up to 8 times per day"
"Access on-premises data using the Data Connectivity Gateways (Personal and Data Management)"
FREE: no
PRO: yes

I'm not sure how to understand those points. What is "consume", and "access on-premises data". I don't need more data then it is being published on reports, so I'm not expecting BI server to dynamically connect with my MSSQL to dig something more.

 

So, do I have to pay for automatic daily reports refresh, or just doing something wrong?
