Key points
- While there’s a good stream of renewing memberships and income, this month saw less corporate memberships and ELTS sales than expected, so more focus is going on this area next month.
- Contributions continue to grow steadily across the community
- Trials are seeing the highest signups since they launched just under a year ago, helped by the new website.
- The first Extended Long Term Support release was made this month for Mautic 4, including three security fixes, along with 5.2.4. 6.0.0-beta is delayed by some work being needed on the upgrade path between Symfony versions, and is expected to be released in March, with General Availability in April.
Finances
Income
This month saw Druid renewing their membership as a Community Tier member – thank you for your ongoing support!
We also have a relatively stable monthly sponsors income, two individual member renewals and also two contributions to our bounties fund which can be used by the Product Team to incentivise work on specific tasks which need addressing. The balance of this account is now $460.88 in total, so there’s quite a lot of capacity for issuing smaller bounties for code or documentation related tasks, should team leads decide to use it.
Income from corporate memberships is down on the expected income, which is something we’ll be working hard to address in the next months.
A large commission coming from the Mautic Trials is still pending while the invoice is paid, we’re expecting this to come through this quarter. We’re also negotiating some ELTS subscriptions which we expect to convert once our first security releases for ELTS are made.
| Description | Amount |
|---|---|
| Corporate membership | $1,200 |
| Monthly sponsors | $1,195 |
| Individual membership | $200 |
| One-time bounty contributions | $73 |
| Total | $2,668 |
Expenditure
This month has been quite a stead month for expenditures, and we’ve made a large saving by deciding to change our online virtual conference provider which will result in a substantial reduction in expenditure on infrastructure this year.
| Description | Amount |
|---|---|
| Employment | $8,821.58 |
| Host fees | $266.80 |
| Infrastructure | $190.72 |
| Payment provider fees | $118.72 |
| Total | $9,397.82 |

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 7 new contributors :rocket: (⬇️ 58.82%) and 81 new members joining the community! 💖 (⬆️ 2.53%).
Usage of Mautic
This month we’re continuing to see strong growth in the number of active instances which are updating, with 11,603 this quarter already we’re on target to exceed the highest count for the past twelve months.
We’re also seeing a gradual uptick in the number of folks checking out the upcoming major release, Mautic 6.0, and more updating from 4.x to 5.x now that Mautic 4 is no longer supported, down to 24% of users on 4.x.
We’re seeing record numbers of visitors to the Mautic website signing up for a trial, with 632 signups in the month of February alone.
The new website has much more prominent calls to action on pages to encourage people to get started with Mautic through a trial, which is likely behind this increase.
We now have more in depth analytics on the website when people consent to marketing cookies which means that we can get a better understanding of which elements are driving conversions and the general path of our visitors through the website – more on this in future updates.
Community Health
This month we’ve released 5.2.3 and our first Extended Long Term Support release, 4.4.14 – both of these are security releases. If you are still using Mautic 4 and want to ensure you’re protected against these vulnerabilities you really should be thinking about either updating to Mautic 5 or purchasing Extended Long Term Support if you need a bit more time before updating. Mautic 4 is now no longer supported, so bugs and security issues won’t be available any more.
I’d like to say a big thank you to the amazing contributors in our security team who work tirelessly behind the scenes to coordinate with the researchers who identify problems, resolving and testing the fixes, and then finally releasing them to our users.
In particular, big thanks to Nick Vanpraet who led his first release since joining the release team – it’s a big step up and we’re grateful for your efforts!
We’ve also seen teams holding regular onboarding calls for new contributors, so whether you’re interested in getting started with testing bug fixes and features, writing documentation, supporting our events or helping with our marketing there are many opportunities! Be sure to keep an eye on the Community Portal for upcoming calls, or join the team channels on Slack.
Conclusion
This month’s report highlights that while Mautic’s financial health is improving we still have a lot of work to do in growing a stable base, driven by consistent membership signups, renewals, ELTS sales and strategic cost reductions.
It’s great to see the ongoing efforts to onboard new contributors and the successful handling of security updates reflect a mature and responsive community, poised for sustained growth and innovation.
