When the stack builder picks it
The builder reads each job's rules from the top and takes the first step whose conditions hold and whose plan fits the money left. beehiiv is named in these steps:
- Email marketing, step 2 of 6, when less than $39 is left for it and you chose that way of working: the free plan; the step also names Kit, and the best score takes it.
- Email marketing, step 3 of 6, when you chose that way of working: Lite ($59/mo, or $49/mo billed yearly); the step also names Kit, and the best score takes it.
- Email marketing, step 4 of 6, when less than $9 is left for it: the free plan; the step also names MailerLite, Brevo, Kit, Klaviyo and Omnisend, and the best score takes it.
- Email marketing, step 6 of 6, otherwise: Lite ($59/mo, or $49/mo billed yearly); the step also names Brevo, MailerLite, ActiveCampaign, Omnisend, Klaviyo and Kit, and the best score takes it.
