ok so its only $5.99 p/m - and ... Roll20 is $1 cheaper ;)
Lets weigh both up shall we?
Roll20: | DDB
Unlimited character sheets/campaigns/etc | Same
Add any background from anywhere even 100% custom | Limited to 5e (even if custom it is restricted to the *2,1,1* method) **why??? I want to be a Time Traveler with TWO skills and TWO tools!!! not ONE Tool!!!
and why can i not create a KENKU but i can create an Akorikokra WHY?!?!?!?! I AM A SUB!!!!
ETC!
**if i am missing something then ignore my rage and explain it - thanks**
D&D Beyond is an official toolset for the fifth edition of D&D. Roll20 is a virtual tabletop for multiple tabletop roleplaying games. Both are licensed digital marketplaces for D&D content and neither offer access to that content via subscription. Ultimately they have different focuses, with some overlap of functionality that work well in concordance with each other.
The reason you can make an aarakocra and not a kenku is likely because aarakocra is free option, while kenku requires a purchase to access. Neither require, nor are included with, either subscription tier.
It is mainly supposed to be seen as a companion app i guess from what you are saying? - I was just hoping i could find a better way to *automate* - guess i just have to poke around and get used to it - and sorry about my vent above -
Maybe if you could direct me to where i can buy the extra races/classes etc? all i can see are the books and adventures and stuff
and finally *IS* it possible to import a 100% custom class with al;l its *custom* proficiencies? if not - why even call it **Custom**?
As for custom class, no, those aren't possible (yet, it's on the roadmap) but you can heavily customise your character sheet including adding custom proficiencies. (You just can't remove existing ones)
then any idea upon when it will be implemented for 100% custom? also as a **Suggestion** why don't you guys gray out the option wiht the note *Coming soon* or even say with an asterix - More option in this feature Coming soon?
Because currently *custom* (as a subscriber 100%) is very **Missleading** ;)
*especially when a custom background of TIme Traveler (and many others) you can choose more than one tool (even many standard backgrounds etc - to say you need to buy more products just to add a new race (Player's Handbook) which costs ... Aprox £24 is a bit of a *MEH-MOVE!* (considering roll20 offers all of this + more for less than this site - i know which one i prefer now - sub cancelled ;) )
When more is added i will have another look - but until then it feels like a bit of a con ;) i am after all a *Master* sub ....
**PLEASE NOTE** wouldn't have been far easier to point me to the **Homebrew Backgrounds** and etc? ;)
There are no hard dates for homebrew classes, as DDB doesn't do dates for future features; things change too dynamically for them to remain valid.
also as a **Suggestion** why don't you guys gray out the option wiht the note *Coming soon* or even say with an asterix - More option in this feature Coming soon?
I'm not exactly sure what option you're referring to here?

I presume this is a homebrew background; D&D Beyond supports all the official content for D&D, and provides tools to homebrew in your own content.
Aprox £24 is a bit of a *MEH-MOVE!* (considering roll20 offers all of this + more for less than this site - i know which one i prefer now - sub cancelled ;) )
Roll20 offers the Player's Handbook for the same prices as D&D Beyond; $29.99. That's not factoring in discounts you can get via the various bundles. Additionally, the content on DDB is accessible through the mobile app and mobile site, which I believe roll20 doesn't offer.
**PLEASE NOTE** wouldn't have been far easier to point me to the **Homebrew Backgrounds** and etc? ;)
It wasn't immediately clear that's what you were looking for, otherwise I'd have directed you there sooner.
