Mautic
What it is
Mautic is an open-source marketing automation suite for building campaigns, managing leads, and sending marketing or transactional emails. Drag-and-drop tools support email and landing-page creation, personalization, A/B testing, and campaign design. Marketers can create customer journeys, score leads, collect information through embedded forms, and organize contact profiles with funnel stages and multichannel data. Integrations include CRM and SMS services, webhooks, a plugin marketplace, and a REST API. Mautic can be installed on a user's own server or used through managed hosting. Its privacy features include configurable tracking controls, IP anonymization, and cleanup tasks intended to support requirements such as GDPR and CCPA. The self-hosted download is free but requires knowledge of CLI, web-server configuration, databases, PHP, and cron jobs; Mautic recommends a virtual private or dedicated server over cheap shared hosting. Managed hosting includes maintenance, updates, and security patches. A 14-day trial is available without a credit card. The Essential managed plan costs €247.50 a month when billed annually.
