Evaluation Vs. Free edition features

Where can I locate a document with the differences between the 60 days evaluation features and the free version features for ESXi 6?

ESXi 60 days evaluation is Enterprise Plus editions license for those 60 days. see Enterprise Plus edition column on following URL for set of features which are available to you during evaluation period.

Compare VMware vSphere Editions and Kits Comparison | United States

now let's say, if you want Templates & Cloning, Alarms, Scheduled Tasks,  vSphere HA, vSphere DRS, SDRS, VSAN and many more..you need vCenter server also along with at least 2 or 3 ESXi hosts for those cluster based features.

if I use ESXi free license, I won't be able to manage my host with vCenter server so I won't have those features listed above.

In Lehman Term:

In Evaluation you can use the every single feature supported by VMware.

In Free you Can deploy the virtaul machine and do power ON/FF that is also limited..
