Is because "alert" is not a feat available in the SRD or the Elemental Evil Players' Companion which are (essentially) the only content available for free here, per the licensing agreement with Wizards of the Coast. To add the alert feat to your ranger character, you have the following options:
-you can homebrew the feat
-you can purchase just that feat from the Markeplace (click on the player's handbook on the marketplace, then scroll down the page until you see the individual feats listed)
-purchase the entire PHB here (not the compendium only version)
When I go to the feats section there are no feats available even though I set my character to 20th level
Some circles of the druid are not available, not listed.
Are these features not available unless I have a non-free account? Or are they simply not added to the character build?
Hello there SiegfriedNewman,
In order to gain access to the non SRD and Elemental Evil options, you have to have purchase the DDB versions of the relevant books in the marketplace, or the individual options you are after. Please check out ArwensDaughter’s guide to purchasing options here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/general-discussion/13989-a-buyers-guide-for-d-d-beyond
