Writing this report, I’m still buzzing from the energy of the Mautic World Conference in London. Kicking off November with around 80 attendees and 12 sponsors at Sea Containers was a reminder of why we do this. The feedback was so overwhelmingly positive that I’m delighted to confirm we plan to be returning to the same venue for the first week of November next year, with all our sponsors already expressing a wish to join us again.
However, leading an open source project means holding space for both celebration and hard truths. While our community connection is stronger than ever, our financial reality is challenging as you will read in this report. This month, November’s elections highlighted the importance of governance, but governance requires a sustainable vessel to steer.
With our reserves currently depleted due to lower-than-projected income from our key revenue streams, we are facing a critical period. I want to be transparent: without a turnaround in our financial situation, I will be presenting a significant budget revision and potential cuts for next year at the General Assembly in January. If you have ever considered becoming a member (as an individual and/or an organization) to support Mautic’s independence, now is the time.
Finances
This month we saw more income for the Mautic World Conference ticket sales, as the event happened at the start of the month.
We also had quite a lot of individual member renewals and new members joining this month, typically because we have voting for the Council elections in November/December which requires membership.
If you’re not yet a member, please consider joining – it really helps with the sustainability of the project to have a wide, diverse membership base.
Here is the breakdown of our finances for the month:

Infrastructure |
$398.47 |
Domain renewal |
$258.82 |
Payment processor fees |
$124.31 |
Total Expenditure |
$6,426.12 |
As you can see we have another month with the outgoings exceeding the income. We had to defer payment of our employment expenses this month because we are waiting on some invoices to be paid for corporate membership renewals, so the actual expenditure should be much higher.
Our income from sources like the Extended Long Term Support program, managed Mautic hosting and corporate membership is much lower than we had projected this year, so this has meant that we have depleted our financial reserves.
This is something I will be addressing with a budget revision to be shared at the General Assembly in January.

Community health
We continue to see a positive trend in the GitHub Stars for the main Mautic repository, which puts us on target to achieve 10,000 stars by this time next year. I think we could achieve it much sooner with the great work our Marketing team are doing, though!
We continue to see a strong interest in our free trial of Mautic, with a fairly even spread by world region, as depicted in the pie chart below. This shows that there truly is a global interest in Mautic, and need to cater to a global audience.
Interestingly, we’ve continued to see a drop off in trial signups since August 2025, however this could also be explained by seasonal variations as we saw a similar drop last year. It’s something we’ll continue to monitor in the coming months.
We’re also continuing to see a strong growth in new sites that are deploying Mautic tracking – this chart shows data from builtwith.com with the date when Mautic tracking was first detected along the x axis, and the cumulative count of currently active sites in the blue line with the quarter on quarter growth in active sites in the green line.
This data should always be used cautiously because it’s not a direct correlation to the number of active Mautic instances. Some don’t use website tracking, some put the same tracking code on multiple websites, sometimes there are false-positive results, and sometimes the builtwith bot can’t access the site to check for the tracking code.
When we consider all sites that have ever had tracking installed (this includes those who no longer have the tracking active, as detected by the builtwith bot), we see similar growth trends. In this chart we see a very large spike in Q3 2023 – this was when a large domain name provider installed the tracking code from a single Mautic instance on each of their parked landing pages, and then removed it by Q1 2024.
Concluding comments
As we look at the metrics for November, the story is one of global reach and steady adoption. We are on a clear trajectory to hit 10,000 GitHub stars by next year – though knowing our marketing team, I suspect we’ll get there sooner. It is also encouraging to see the continued growth in active sites using Mautic tracking as detected by BuiltWith, validating that Mautic remains a tool of choice for digital sovereignty worldwide.
We did notice a dip in trial signups since August, likely mirroring the seasonal trends we saw last year, and we will continue to monitor this closely. But data points are only part of the picture. The real measure of our health is our ability to sustain this ecosystem.
We have the technology, we have the people, and – as London proved – we have the passion. The missing piece right now is the financial stability to back it up.
As we move into the end of the year, please consider how you or your organisation can contribute to that stability, ensuring Mautic remains a viable, independent alternative for years to come.
