Key points

• The income this month as quite low at $4,250 with additional unplanned expenses relating to defending a trademark case
• June has been a strong month for contributions, with the 5.1 release being made which had 10 new features, 130 bug fixes, and 156 enhancements.
• A large domain name parking company which added tracking to all their parked sites back in Q3 2023, removed that tracking which resulted in a large drop of sites that are using Mautic tracking. There was however a large increase in the number of new sites deploying Mautic tracking.
• Despite a quiet month with the fundraising, the community's energy and excitement are high, especially with preparations for Mautic Conference Global 2024 well underway!

Supporters are folks who have had conversations with people directly before they make a contribution, so most likely helping with that process.

This month we had 12 new contributors 🚀 (⬆️ 33.33%) and 81 new members joining the community !💖 (⬆️ 1.25%).

Usage of Mautic

We're seeing a minimal increase in the downloads via the mautic.org download page at the end of Q2, with around 650-700 downloads per month.

Mautic trials

We're continuing to see signups for the trial service at a rate of around 400 per month, however almost all of these have no interest in continuing to use the paid service we provide (which results in a revenue stream to the Community). We're attracting primarily micro businesses, solopreneurs and interested parties, rather than the small to medium sized businesses who we had hoped would be keen to continue hosting their accounts.

Of course, this is a great thing for Mautic given that all these people are getting to check out Mautic and take it for a spin with minimum friction, but we're also concerned that we're not reaching the rest of the market.

We're taking a multi-pronged approach to this, by kicking off a project to rebuild the website alongside improving the user experience and implementing tools like an interactive guide which helps the user explore Mautic's core features.

We're also investing more into developing the inbound marketing that we're doing as part of the Trials project, so that we can proactively reach people who might want to use Mautic and bring them in to the website and the trials.

With the new website we plan to make it much clearer the price associated with continuing the hosted provision post-trial, and also pointing people to the relevant resources for self-hosting or working with one of our partners.

Sites using Mautic tracking

We now have a new chart which allows us to track both the number of active sites with Mautic tracking, and all sites that have ever had tracking installed (as some have installed the tracking and then subsequently removed it).

Image

This month we saw an uptick in the number of active sites, however there was also a concurrent substantial reduction in the total number of sites which had Mautic tracking deployed, which was demonstrated in the chart which tracks sites that have removed Mautic tracking.

On investigating this, it appears to be due to the large domain parking provider who implemented Mautic tracking on their 10,000+ parked domains back in Q3 2023, removing that tracking in Q2 2024.

This does highlight one of the shortcomings of monitoring websites which have Mautic tracking, as it's likely this was just one single instance of Mautic having the code deployed on 10,000+ websites.

We'd like to get a more accurate way of estimating the number of active Mautic instances - perhaps by updating the Stats App - so if anyone would be interested in digging into that, please get in touch.

All told, in Q2 2024 we saw 5,039 websites adding Mautic tracking, against 16,116 where tracking which had previously been detected was no longer present (this considers a rolling 90 days period for the 'last detected' date, to take into account transitory problems with websites not loading when the BuiltWith platform indexes them).

While we're seeing a large uptick in the number of sites that are using Mautic tracking, we also need to be conscious of those who are deciding to no longer using Mautic and better understand what leads to them moving away from tracking with Mautic.

Community Health

In June we've seen 11 new contributors taking the time to give something back to Mautic, whether that's helping to test bug fixes, writing a social media post, creating the newsletter or helping to run a meetup group.

We also saw the epic release of Mautic 5.1 Andromeda Edition, including 10 new features, 130 bug fixes and 156 enhancements, ensuring a more powerful and user-friendly experience for all Mautic users. Read all the details in the Release Notes.

Our videos for Mautic Conference Global 2023 were also rendered and uploaded to YouTube at the end of June, there are some absolute gems that you really should catch up with! Check out the playlist here.

Conclusion

It's been a quiet month on the fundraising side in June, however with the release of Mautic 5.1 and preparations well underway for Mautic Conference Global 2024, the energy and excitement within the community is palpable.

It's such a delight to see all the hard work that has gone into the 5.1 release finally getting into the hands of our users, and that it's inspiring others to step up and get involved as contributors to continue making Mautic even more awesome!
