Finances
Overall the finances have been much healthier this month, with membership renewals and a large income from the Mautic Trials helping to boost our income. While we’re managing to keep our expenditure lower than budgeted, we’re still around $24k adrift from where we need to be financially.
Income
This month saw us receiving a substantial commission from a large conversion on the Mautic Trials, which results in a 40% revenue share coming back to Mautic. Thank you again to our provider, Dropsolid, for supporting the Mautic Trials infrastructure.
We had a renewal this year from our friends at the Drupal Association – thank you for your ongoing support! – and also a new Community Tier membership was sold – the first corporate membership processed through our new Stripe website integration! – so it won’t land into our account until next month.
We also noticed a duplicate payout from Open Source Collective from our Stripe account due to some internal glitches at their end with operating this new system, which is represented below as income but has been refunded already.
| Description | Amount |
|---|---|
| Trials revenue | $6,619.50 |
| Corporate members | $5,000* |
| Monthly sponsors | $1,105 |
| Individual members | $232.26** |
| One-time sponsors | $80 |
| Total | $13,036.76 |
* We sold a Community Tier membership this month too (🎉), but it won’t be transferred into our account until May as it was processed via Stripe, so it’s not represented here and will be reported next month.
** This includes an accidentally duplicated payout from Open Collective’s Stripe account of $66.18 which has been refunded in May.
Expenditure
This month saw us renewing our virtual office, which enables us to have a physical location from which to send and receive postal mail. Other expenditure is in line with expectations.
| Description | Amount |
|---|---|
| Employment | $8,492.30 |
| Host fees | $1,302.69 |
| Payment processor fees | $528.24 |
| Administration | $306.68 |
| Infrastructure | $367.27 |
| Total | $10,997.18 |

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 11 new contributors 🚀 (⬇️ 13.33%) and 46 new members joining the community !💖 (⬇️ 46.51%)
Usage of Mautic
We’re continuing to see strong growth in Mautic instances being updated since the beginning of the year, driven in part by the release of 5.2 as the Long Term Stable release.
Trial signups are also continuing to perform well, with a higher number of signups and larger sized use cases being recorded since the new website was launched. This benefits Mautic because we receive a 40% commission on the trials that convert into using our managed hosting service, helping Mautic to continue to grow and thrive.
Packagist installations with Composer are now seeing an uptick in installations of Mautic 6.0 along with continued installations of Mautic 5.2. There are still small numbers of Mautic 4 installations happening, probably with legacy systems which aren’t yet updated.
The trend is very definitely on the increase, which is great to see with our drive to implement a Composer-by-default install approach.
Community health
This month we’ve released Mautic 5.2.5 with 12 bug fixes, thanks to everyone who contributed to this release!
We’ve also had an update to our Community Portal which sees a much more accessible theme, and a nicer layout, as well as many bugs being fixed, the ability to set your own user timezone in your profile, and an improved anti-spam system. If you spot any problems please report them via our GitHub repository.
Our call for Docker and WordPress maintainers has been answered and I’m delighted to share that we’re in the process of onboarding new working groups for both. This is really important because both Docker and the WordPress plugin had been largely unmaintained for quite some time, so I’m really excited that they’re now going to be updated much more frequently with new features and improvements planned for both.
Check out the Docker roadmap here, and the WordPress plugin roadmap here. If you’d like to join either, please let us know via the Slack channel #docker or #wordpress-plugin.
Conclusion
April has been a promising month for Mautic, with significant financial improvements and deepening community involvement. Although there’s still a gap to be closed with the finances we’ve had a considerable boost from the Trials revenue and membership renewals which is great to see.
There have been some key improvements in areas like the Community Portal and with two new working groups spinning up for Docker and the WordPress Plugin, we’re seeing a much more proactive approach from contributors stepping up to get involved.
We still have a way to go but we’re making good progress and I’m excited to see how next month pans out!
