This works best if you will have internet access when you are gaming/want to access the rules, although there is a mobile D&D Beyond app (For iOS and Android). I only play in a few games AND I want online/digital access to the rules: If you want to both manage your characters AND access the rules in DDB, you should purchase the Players Hand Book and any other rule books you want to be able to access from here. This is a good option if you want to test out DDB before purchasing a lot of content. This is also true of bundles: for example, if I purchase the Tabaxi race now for $1.99, the cost of the race bundle from Mordenkainen Presents is reduced by that amount (from $9.99 to $8.00). If you prefer, you could homebrew some or all of the elements rather than purchasing them. Note that anything you spend on an element from a book reduces the cost of purchasing the whole book if you decide to do so later. If you play one or more spellcasters, you may want to purchase all the spells from the PHB and/or other sources (e.g.
For example, if I want to build a Tabaxi Storm Herald Barbarian with the Alert feat, I could purchase the Tabaxi race from Mordenkainen Presents, the Path of the Storm Herald Subclass from Xanathar's, and the Alert Feat from the PHB. (Keep in mind that some options are available for free-see above) To do so, go to the marketplace, choose the book that the element is from, click on "view purchase options" and then add the elements you want to the cart. I only play in a few games AND I mostly want a digital character sheet: If you are interested in DDB primarily to keep track of a small number of characters you use in games, you can just buy the particular races, subclasses, magic items etc. This is a good option if you want to test out DDB before purchasing content. If you want to use spells, races, feats, monsters, subclasses, or magic items not in these resources, and are not in a position to pay for them, you can homebrew the elements you need using the homebrew tools on DDB. I can't afford/don't want to pay anything: DDB provides the following resources for free: The Basic Rules, the System Reference document (also known as the SRD) and the Elemental Evil Player's Companion: these three resources are also available from Wizards of the Coast as pdfs. A few items from Matt Mercer are also free. (I'll happily engage you about such things in a different thread, just not here). Questions for clarity, constructive comments, and suggestions are welcome arguments about the merits or ethics of the pricing structure are not. There are probably a near infinite number of purchasing options, but this at least gives you a starting point. It lays out several different scenarios for Players and DMs and suggests purchasing strategies for each of those scenarios. This post is written for folks who are considering using D&D Beyond. That strength can also be confusing to those considering D&D Beyond.

One of its strengths is the myriad of purchase options, from using the free resources, to buying individual items, to the Legendary Bundle. D&D Beyond is a marvelous tool and resource for players of D&D.
