Key points
- Finances: Significant boost from the GitHub Secure Open Source Fund, steady GitHub Sponsors and memberships; our expenditures are higher due to delayed employment invoices and costs associated with the Mautic World Conference event. A strong focus is needed on H2 income to stabilise cash flow.
- Contributions: We continue to see strong organisational activity (Acquia, Dropsolid, Leuchtfeuer, Webmecanik and more) and many awesome individual efforts (Renato, John Linhart, Ayu Adiati, and many more), with new contributors joining to contribute across many areas.
- Product and usage: We continue to see around 600 monthly trial signups and we’ve open sourced the Product Tour plugin for wider use. We’re going to be changing the pricing tiers next month for the Managed Mautic service as approved by the Council. We estimate around 25,000 active sites with Mautic tracking enabled and we’re continuing to see growing adoption of Mautic 5 and 6.
- Community sprint outcomes: The Prague sprint advanced Mautic 7.0 alpha toward release and enabled a quality-first review of the application which resulted in several bug fixes and some key decisions to simplify email/form creation and rename campaigns to workflows which will be coming in future releases.
Finances
Income
This month we’ve had a large injection of funds thanks to the GitHub Secure Open Source Fund which two of our team participated in last month (read more in the blog post here) – we will receive $6,000 initially and then two more batches of $2,000 at 6 and 12 months respectively after the program.
We’ve seen a fairly steady income on our monthly sponsors and a small contribution from folks attending the community sprint in Prague.
This month we had quite a few renewals of individual memberships which was great to see!
| Description | Amount |
|---|---|
| GitHub Sponsors | $5760.10 |
| Monthly sponsors | $775 |
| Sprint sponsors | $60 |
| Individual members | $756.10 |
| Total | $7,351.20 |
Expenditure
This month there were two invoices for employment due to delayed approval resulting from queries on some changes in amounts due to tax changes.
We’ve incurred some expenses on behalf of the MautiCon event this month which will be recouped from the sponsorship when it starts to come in over the coming months. Our contractors, admin support and infrastructure expenditure remains steady, and there were planned travel expenses for the Community Sprint.
| Description | Amount |
|---|---|
| Employment | $17,580.3 |
| MautiCon expenses | $930.59 |
| Contractors | $700 |
| Admin support | $763.20 |
| Travel | $572.83 |
| Infrastructure | $370.85 |
| Host fees | $734.12 |
| Payment provider fees | $84.59 |
| Total | $21,736.48 |
Overall, we do need to focus more strongly on achieving our goals in the second half of the year when it comes to income, to ensure that our cash flow remains stable. More focus is coming on this in the coming months.

Usage of Mautic
We’re continuing to see a steady rate of signups for the Mautic trials, with around 600 a month initiating a trial.
This month the team at Dropsolid has open sourced the Product Tour plugin which we’re using in the trials with a view to us developing it further and enabling more Mautic users to take advantage of it.
We also passed some changes to the pricing tiers in the Mautic Council which will be applied in August.
We’re continuing to see growth in sites that use Mautic tracking, with approaching 25,000 sites currently active and detected by BuiltWith.
We are starting to see a strong uptake of Mautic 6, with around 75% of Mautic instances that are updating and sending data back to Mautic running version 5 or 6.
This isn’t surprising because we only support updates to Mautic 4 under the Extended Long Term Support program now. As we’ve seen in previous years, we expect the gradual reduction of Mautic 4 and 3 instances as businesses update to more recent versions.
We know that many larger organisations will wait for Mautic 7.3 LTS to be released before updating from Mautic 5.2 LTS, given the shortened bridging release of Mautic 6, so it’s likely that we’ll see a slower uptake as a result.
Community Health
July saw Mautic’s annual Community Sprint happening in Prague – an opportunity for our community to come together for a couple of days and work on specific tasks together while physically co-located.
We know that these sprints are a precious opportunity to make progress on initiatives and this year was no different.
One team were tasked with finalising the work to release Mautic 7.0 alpha, and the other team were focusing on improving product quality. They broke out into pairs and worked through a list of every action that a user might take in Mautic, logging any bugs that they encountered, areas for improvement, and things that were confusing as a user. Quite a few were fixed and merged during the sprint but we have a full backlog on our GitHub Project Board.
Some critical decisions were made during the sprint as a result of this close review, including:
- Removing the two types of email selection when creating an email
- Removing the two types of form selection when creating a form
- Renaming campaigns to workflows, to better align with the marketer’s vocabulary
You’ll see some of these changes coming over the next months – please consider helping us with reviewing and testing new features, bug fixes and enhancements: https://mau.tc/tester.
Conclusion
In my experience, months like July show how our community’s energy, transparent finances, and thoughtful product choices move us toward true digital independence. We shipped meaningful improvements through the Prague sprint, and saw steady growth in adoption and contributions. Where can you lend your strengths this month – reviewing, testing, mentoring, or sponsoring – to help us keep up this momentum? Take a look at https://mau.tc/contribute and help us move Mautic forward faster.
