## Hosted pricing (source of truth)

### What counts as an email?

Each successfully sent email counts toward your monthly quota—transactional messages, campaign sends, and SMTP relay deliveries all use credits the same way.

### Do I need a credit card to start?

No. The Free plan includes 3,000 emails per month and 200 emails per day, with no credit card required. Upgrade when your volume grows.
