Free tier	300 email sends per day with no time limit; 100,000 contacts stored unit requests; metered on request-count
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not applicable: a send count rather than an object
Retention	unused sends do not roll over
Egress	not applicable: an outbound sender
Identity	email an account; no card is required for the free plan
Limits	request-rate 300 sends per day, resetting daily, with no carry-over source request-rate a campaign to more than 300 recipients delivers to 300 that day and needs a manual requeue, so the daily send counter is the campaign's limit too source counts of things, not rates, so no vocabulary kind names them: 100,000 contacts stored on the free plan. The campaign entry is a rate: the same 300-a-day counter is what a campaign meets, so it stays request-rate
Binding	request-rate 300/day. The campaign path is the trap: a 1,000-contact list takes four days.
Interface	rest, cli the SMTP relay and the transactional API; SMTP is the documented path
Tooling	any SMTP client, or the Brevo API
Composes with	the highest card-free daily cap found: 300/day, which is three times Resend's. It is the outbound half of the inbound-plus-outbound chain and its scarce link is the day.
Reliability	once the daily limit is hit, up to 1,000 transactional emails are held in a retry queue and anything beyond that is not delivered
Notes	The help page states the campaign behaviour explicitly, which is why the 300/day figure is not the whole answer for a marketing send.
Evidence rung	documented no message was sent, so no delivery is proved. The submission path was probed: smtp-relay.brevo.com:587 answered 250, STARTTLS completed against the system trust store, and AUTH LOGIN returned 334
