Finances

January has been a good month for income, with a Diamond tier renewal, a new Gold membership and a Community Tier renewal. Sponsorship remains stable, and we’ve had one new individual member.

| Affiliate payments (Mailfloss) | $34.20 |

Expenditure
This month we had invoices for December and January for employment as we missed the previous invoice due to vacations. As host fees are linked to income, they are higher this month on account of the higher income. We’ve also had the final invoice cleared for the Mautic Conference Europe which means we’ve paid all the remaining balances.
There were some travel costs relating to FOSDEM and State of Open Con this month, and some costs associated with sticker printing and business cards.

| Employment | $17,948.56 |

Usage of Mautic
With the release of Mautic 6.0.0-alpha we’re now starting to see a small number of instances on this version, and a fairly stable percentage of Mautic 5 instances dominating the versions in use. We expect that this will be the case given that Mautic 5 is the Long Term Support release now, and we’re expecting to see some of the older versions starting to update over the coming months.
In terms of the number of active instances, you can see that the trend in the number of sites sending telemetry to the updates server is going back up, and although we’re only a month into the quarter we’re on track to be continuing that growth path.
Downloads over time continue to be fairly stable at around 4,000 per quarter – these are downloads via the mautic.org/download page.
Uptake of the Mautic Trials continues to grow strongly after an expected dip in December, we are averaging at over 500 signups per month which is great to see. We are also expecting a significant donation from a recently signed client who decided to continue their hosting, which should land next month subject to contracts being completed.
In terms of the countries taking up trials, this largely reflects our web traffic and estimated usage distribution.
If we combine European countries we have around 18% of trial requests coming from the EU, closely followed by Brazil at 16% and India at 15%. The United States comes in at around 11% of all trial requests.
We do expect to see more coming from the EU and US in the coming months with the greater focus on data sovereignty and privacy due to legislative changes and geopolitical tensions
Community Health
This month saw a big project going live – our new website! It’s been worked on behind the scenes for the last six months and it was extremely exciting to see it finally out in the world.
I’m particularly excited that we’re finally able to position Mautic as a product and showcase its amazing features with the world. Members and partners also have much higher prominence on the new site, with a searchable database which highlights service providers in verticals and by the kinds of services offered.
We’re continuing to see growth in our contributors and active members and I’m looking forward to some exciting initiatives kicking off towards the end of this month with the Education Team – watch this space!
We also shared an update on the upcoming releases – with 6.0.0-alpha being released towards the end of the month and 5.2.2 as well, we’re now looking forward to finalising the required tasks for the 6.0.0-beta release, getting our first Extended Long Term Support release ready to launch next month, and also turning our eyes towards what’s going to be necessary for the upcoming Mautic 7 release. Read more about what to expect in the upcoming releases here.
Conclusion
We have certainly kicked the new year off in style, achieving strong growth in income and getting two new releases out into the world.
The launch of the new website is a significant milestone that positions Mautic as a product and showcases its amazing features to the world – I’m super excited to see this grow and thrive as part of the Marketing Team’s work on positioning Mautic within the market and growing our market share.
As we look forward to the upcoming releases and new initiatives from the Education Team, the community continues to expand, and the future looks bright. Let’s continue to build this awesome community together!
