Mautic

Mautic is an open-source marketing automation platform that allows organizations to manage leads, build campaigns, and analyze marketing results without relying on third-party SaaS providers. The software enables businesses to deliver integrated marketing campaigns while maintaining complete control over their user data and privacy settings.

The software is deployed as a web application on a server. It can be installed via Composer, a pre-packaged production download, or through DDEV for local development. By hosting the application on their own infrastructure, users avoid vendor lock-in and can modify the software to fit their specific operational requirements. This deployment model ensures that the organization owns its database and is not subject to the pricing tiers or data restrictions of proprietary platforms.

It is intended for marketers and developers who want to avoid the feature limitations and recurring costs associated with proprietary marketing tools. The project is supported by a worldwide community of contributors who provide documentation and support for both users and developers.

It serves as a comprehensive digital experience platform for those seeking a privacy-centric and extendable approach to marketing automation.
