## The Hook

Mautic is marketing automation you self-host when Listmonk is only newsletters.

## What's Good

GPL-3.0. Campaigns, segments, scoring, landing pages, forms — the automation suite. Self-host is the free path. Community and agency ecosystem.

## The Catch

Marketing automation — not Listmonk newsletter/tx alone. Hosted 14-day trial is NOT the free path; self-host is. Distinct from Listmonk.

## Verdict

GPL-3.0 marketing automation. Self-host free; hosted trial is not forever-$0.
