Hi Balaji,

thanks for the quick response,

The difference you see features, Essential is basic License as perpertual come with most of the switches by default.

above anything of essential features, that will give you ability to run those features. (example Layer 3 full features, VRF, SVL...So on as mentioned the features)

Here's a more granular feature chart.

Example The Essential license gives you more basic features, all important switch capabilities and the Advantage license gives you full L3 capabilities and more as @balaji.bandi mentioned. Since we not sure if you talking about Access switches or core switches the funtionaliity/features on DNA Center we be differ.
