Mautic

Marketing

Open source marketing automation for campaigns, segments, email, landing pages and forms, run on your own server.

Mautic is a self-hostable marketing automation platform covering campaigns, dynamic segments, email and landing page builders, forms, web tracking and lead scoring, with a REST API for custom integrations. It is aimed at marketing teams with technical resources, or in regulated environments, that want the contact data and the infrastructure under their own control. The free self-hosted edition is the whole GPL-3.0 product, including every feature. What is not included: hosting, an email sending service, deliverability tooling, maintenance, upgrades and vendor support — those are sold as Managed Mautic plans by the project's official hosting partner, not by the project itself.

Mautic Community (self-hosted)

Limits
No hosted infrastructure, no email sending service, no maintenance or upgrades and no vendor support: the full stack runs on your own VPS or dedicated server, with your own SMTP or email service. Community security support ends per release and older versions need the paid Extended Long Term Support programme.
Notes
Licence read from the raw file on the default branch 7.x on 2026-09-21: the header reads 'Mautic - Open source marketing automation software / Copyright 2014 by the contributors / This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License ... either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version'; the file also lists bundled third-party components under their own licences. Marketplace plugins are separate code with their own terms. mautic.org states the self-host download is 'a copy including all features', so the free edition is the full product and no amount is recorded.

Pros & cons

Strengths

  • The self-hosted download is the whole product: the site lists it as a copy including all features Source
  • No contact-based pricing: the vendor's own comparison lists contact-based pricing as no and feature gating as none Source
  • Rule-based dynamic segmentation, described by the vendor as rule-based, dynamic and unlimited Source

  • REST API and webhooks ship with the self-hosted product for custom integrations Source
  • Extendable through a plugin marketplace and Composer-managed plugin installs Source

Trade-offs

  • You supply email sending: SMTP is the default transport and no sending service is included in the free edition Source
  • Shared hosting is not supported; the vendor states Mautic needs a VPS or dedicated server Source
  • Self-installing assumes CLI, Apache or NGINX, MySQL or MariaDB, PHP configuration and cron job skills Source

  • Free community security support ends per release; older versions need the paid Extended Long Term Support programme Source
  • Marketplace plugins are not version-verified, so a plugin may not work with your Mautic release Source

Moving your content across: Documented per product: what you do on the side you are leaving, what this app does with the result, and what does not survive the trip. Every step links to the page that documents it.

  • HubSpotmautic.org publishes a Mautic versus HubSpot page describing teams that hit a ceiling on cost and feature gating there and move to Mautic, with a side-by-side comparison of the two.Source
    • CaveatMautic keeps marketing automation at its core with only light built-in CRM, so pipeline and CRM features come from an external CRM integration.Source
    • CaveatThe cost model changes: Mautic's comparison lists contact-based pricing as no, and prices scale with infrastructure and send volume instead.Source
    • CaveatThe bundled HubSpot plugin is documented as pushing contacts from Mautic to HubSpot CRM on contact actions or point triggers, not the other way round.Source
