Key points
- We’re working hard towards financial stability, you can help us by using Mautic’s hosted service (which gives 40% of the income back to the open source project), becoming an individual or corporate member of Mautic, or by purchasing Extended Long Term Support.
- We’re continuing to see new contributors stepping up to support Mautic but there are many areas where we’re very short on contributors. Check out https://mau.tc/contribute for how you can get involved
- Mautic usage is continuing to grow strongly, both from the uptake on the trials and also through installations and instances that call back to our updates server.
- We’re now over 9,000 active people in our community, how awesome is that! 🎉
Finances
Income
March was a quiet month when it comes to memberships with only four new individual members, however we did receive a larger than usual transfer from GitHub Sponsors which we think is some backdated funds from previous months (we’ve checked with Open Collective and it was a genuine transfer).
We also received a refund on fees from a duplicated community tier membership which was on auto-renew for one of our members.
| Description | Amount |
|---|---|
| Individual members | $400 |
| Monthly sponsors | $1,885 |
| Refunds | $173.10 |
| Total | $2,458.10 |
Expenditure
This month we had several of our domain names renew which is why there’s slightly higher than normal expenditure on the infrastructure line item. As mentioned above, a duplicated membership had to be refunded which is why it’s showing here as a refund. Other expenses are as expected.
| Description | Amount |
|---|---|
| Employment | $8,717.53 |
| Refund | $1,200 |
| Infrastructure | $494.32 |
| Host fees | $178.50 |
| Consultants | $159.90 |
| Payment processor fees | $53.94 |
| Total | $10,925.26 |

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 14 new contributors :rocket: (⬆️ 114.29%) and 86 new members joining the community! 💖 (⬆️ 6.17%).
Usage of Mautic
We continue to see a strong trend based on the sites which are updating and pinging our updates server. In Q1 we had just over 15,000 Mautic instances checking in after being updated. This is the highest rate we’ve seen in all time.
We’re also continuing to see a strong growth in signups for the official Mautic trial, with nearly 700 signups in March which is our highest yet.
When it comes to installations we’re seeing a strong growth in Composer-based installs of Mautic 5, which is to be expected as it comes into Long Term Support (LTS) status.
Community Health
This month has been a big month for releases, with the latest in our series of bug fixes for Mautic 5 – 5.2.4 – being released with 15 bugs fixed, in addition to 6.0.0 beta, Release Candidate and General Availability.
I’m delighted to welcome Martin Vooremäe to the team of volunteer release leaders – it’s great to see more people stepping up and helping to support Mautic’s release process. He’s carried out releases as assistant lead, and next month will be leading his first release.
I’ve also put out a call for maintainers for the Docker repository and the WordPress plugin – two important areas where we’ve not had active maintainers for several years that really need reviving. Please let me know if you’d be interested! We also have several teams who need people to step up and support various initiatives, from putting on our Mautic Conferences to writing the newsletter and helping improve our documentation. Check out https://mau.tc/contribute to see how you can get involved.
We’ve also now topped out at over 9,000 active members since back in 2014 when Mautic was founded, which is pretty awesome!
Conclusion
We still have a lot of work to do when it comes to income generation, however we’re making good progress and managing to keep our outgoings lower than budgeted.
We continue to see a growth in adoption of Mautic both from trial users but also through installations, which shows the ongoing growth potential for Mautic.
Community members are continuing to step up and start contributing (but there’s always more to do, so please lend a hand!) and we’re retaining contributors as well, which has been exciting to see.
Onwards and upwards!
