Managed Mautic: open-source marketing automation, run for you
Mautic gives you marketing automation you control, with no per-contact licence fees. Running it well takes servers, cron jobs, updates and email deliverability work. AutoMautic is a ready-made brand for a service that takes care of all of that.
What Mautic is
Mautic is an open-source marketing automation platform. It covers what most teams use a commercial automation tool for:
- Contact and company records, with segments that update themselves
- Email campaigns and newsletters
- Landing pages and forms
- Lead scoring and point triggers
- Visual multi-step campaigns based on behaviour
- Website tracking and reporting
- Plugins and integrations, including CRM sync
Because it's open source, you choose where it runs and who has access to the data, and you don't pay more as your contact list grows.
Self-hosted, managed or SaaS
| Self-hosted Mautic | Managed Mautic | SaaS automation tool | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Licence cost | None | Service fee | Subscription, often priced by contacts |
| Who runs it | Your team | The provider | The vendor |
| Data location | Your choice | Agreed with the provider | The vendor's choice |
| Customisation | Full | Full | Limited to what the vendor offers |
| Effort for you | High | Low | Low |
Managed Mautic sits in the middle: you keep the control and cost profile of open source, without becoming a hosting company.
What a managed Mautic service covers
- Hosting and scaling sized for your contact volume and email sends.
- Installation and upgrades, including testing plugins and themes against new versions.
- Background jobs: the scheduled tasks that rebuild segments, run campaigns and send queued email.
- Email deliverability: sending provider setup, SPF, DKIM and DMARC, bounce handling and domain warm-up.
- Backups, security patches and monitoring.
- Integrations with your CRM, website and analytics.
- Optional services: campaign builds, templates, migration from another tool and training.
Who it's for
- Companies with large contact lists for whom per-contact pricing has become expensive.
- Organisations with strict data rules, such as EU companies, the public sector, healthcare and education, that need to know where their data lives.
- Agencies running automation for many clients from one platform.
- Teams that have outgrown basic email tools but don't want enterprise licence costs.
