Enterprise Software: Mautic hosting
Mautic is the leading open-source solution for marketing automation – the self-determined alternative to HubSpot and ActiveCampaign. We host Mautic in a GDPR-compliant way on European infrastructure, set up campaigns and lead nurturing and ensure clean email delivery. This way you automate marketing along the customer journey without paying per contact or giving your data out of hand.
Challenges you'll recognise
- Your marketing automation costs rise with the number of contacts, even though you only use part of the features.
- Your contact and behavioural data sits with a US provider, which raises data-protection questions.
- Email campaigns land in spam too often because the sending infrastructure isn't configured cleanly.
Marketing automation
Mautic automates email journeys, lead scoring and campaigns along the customer journey. Contacts receive the right message at the right time – triggered by their behaviour, not by manual list maintenance.
Campaigns & lead nurturing
With the visual campaign builder you model complex nurturing journeys: branches, conditions and time-controlled steps. We help with the setup so contacts systematically become qualified leads.
Hosting & deliverability
Email marketing stands and falls with deliverability. We operate Mautic with cleanly configured sending (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and the right infrastructure, so your emails land in the inbox, not in spam.
GDPR & consents
Marketing automation processes a lot of personal data. Self-hosted, this stays on European infrastructure, and we set up Mautic so that consents, unsubscribes and retention are mapped in a GDPR-compliant way.
Good to know
No per-contact pricing
Commercial tools charge by number of contacts – with large lists this gets expensive. Self-hosted Mautic decouples costs from list size.
Deliverability is a craft
Whether emails land in the inbox or spam is decided by configuration. Cleanly set up SPF/DKIM/DMARC and monitoring are the foundation of successful campaigns.
Data sovereignty in marketing
Behavioural and contact data are sensitive. Self-hosting keeps them on European infrastructure and under your control.
Mautic vs. HubSpot & ActiveCampaign
Marketing suites scale with contacts and features – quickly reaching four figures per month. Mautic is open source and runs on your infrastructure. As of June 2026.
| Mautic (self-hosted) | HubSpot Marketing | ActiveCampaign | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Licence | Open source, €0 | Per tier/contacts | Per contacts |
| Entry | Fixed ops | Starter from $15/mo | Plus from $49/mo (1,000 contacts) |
| Scaling | User/contact-independent | Professional/Enterprise $800–3,600+/mo | $145 (5k) → $349 (50k contacts) |
| Data ownership | Your own EU servers | Vendor cloud (US) | Vendor cloud (US) |
| Email sending | Your own/connected provider | Included (plan limits) | Included (plan limits) |
Vendor list prices, as of June 2026 (USD). Break-even: from a few thousand contacts, or on the higher HubSpot tiers, self-hosted Mautic is usually far cheaper.
