Hey guys, not an experienced D&D player by any means but I thought I could choose bladesinging when I hit level 2 but I only see one option and that's evocation. Do I need to pay or something?
Yes you would have to buy at the minimum the bladesinger subclass from the sword coast book or some one with a master tier subscription has to unlock it for you
Curse developed D&D beyond and license the content from Wizards of the Coast. They allow all free wizard content to be accessed without charge. Other content they are able to officially sell to be used with D&D Beyond.
For the Wizard Class specifically, that only includes the Evocation subclass. Bladesinging is part of the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide. You could buy that book for I think $24 or even just the bladesinging subclass ~$2
IF you decide to buy a book, the best option for you would likely be the player handbook, as you'll get a lot of information available and all of the core subclasses. Bladesinging would still be separate, purchase, but again could be picked up for $2.
What the hell Why would i should even use D&D beyond to make a Wizard that can only choose the school of Evocation for his Arcane Tradition when I can just use the handbook and not have to buy what i need for necromancy or Conjuration or instance
Why should D&D Beyond pay a license to grant you the ability to use non-free content on the site (they have to pay fees to WotC to let you) without getting money from you?
D&D Beyond is not Wizards of the Coast. If you want to use their non-free service, buy it. Just because you bought a physical book somewhere else doesn't matter. If you bought the book from a local game-shop doesn't mean you can get a second free copy from Amazon, now does it?
You can put in the time to recreate the PHB options using this sites homebrew tools - for free. Or, pay to unlock it.

You should not use D&D Beyond for what you desire. Stop using it and go away.
Let's not tell people to go away. They might not know they can use content from physical books on here for free with a bit of work using the homebrew tools. Perhaps that is fine for them, and should be encouraged to stay and use the tools. Just outright telling them to stop and go away comes across as rather rude and a little hostile. I would hope that is not your intention.

D&D beyond basically consists of some columns/videos/advice, the forums, a place to display home brew, and a bunch of paid services. He is clearly trying to use the paid service without paying. Honestly, I do not pay for much - I come here for the free stuff, which I think is top quality. There are several other sites that will give this guy what he wants, at least one of which is probably illegal. If he does not like the massive resources we have - including but not limited to forums with good advice - then he probably is not going to like it here.
I am sorry if I came off as rude, but I honestly think this guy is not going to like what we have here.

Thank you for your post - we appreciate people taking the time to give us feedback.

This doesn't really answer my question. Using the graph on the website which compares all tiers with the free one, states I get no additional content.

Alternatively, if you are in a campaign with someone who has a Master Tier subscription, they can share all of their own purchased content with you.
Hopefully, that helps.
Edit: Typo
That helps immensely, thank you. :-)

As this topic has veered off from its original purpose, I will now lock it.
