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. Brevo is named in these steps:
- Email marketing, step 4 of 6, when less than $9 is left for it: the free plan; the step also names MailerLite, beehiiv, Kit, Klaviyo and Omnisend, and the best score takes it.
- Email marketing, step 6 of 6, otherwise: Starter ($9/mo); the step also names MailerLite, ActiveCampaign, Omnisend, Klaviyo, Kit and beehiiv, and the best score takes it.
The rules are public in stack-rules.json, and how the stack builder scores explains the tie-break.
