Vs.

Not satisfied with Mautic?
Switch to Groundhogg and get more!

Businesses and agencies using WordPress are saving time, spending less, getting better support, and better features after switching to Groundhogg from lesser open-source CRMs.

Close, but not quite there…

Mautic is good, but just doesn’t quite meet the demands of businesses using WordPress.

Mautic’s CRM shortcomings drive business owners crazy as they end up having to piece together solutions using expensive third-party applications.

Skip the nonsense with Groundhogg’s complete marketing automation, and CRM suite, plus our WordPress friendly first-party integrations.

We’ve done our best to provide an honest representation of the features Mautic has in comparison to Groundhogg by looking at their marketing site, documentation, community posts, and on occasion confirming with their support team. If Mautic has a feature that we say they don’t have, they should take the opportunity to document it clearly and send it to us so that we can update our table accordingly.

Get all the features you get with Mautic and more!

Groundhogg is similar, but also better in every way (We might be biased). You don’t have to sacrifice features!

Save time & money with better tools

While Mautic  may be open-source (which is great) the problem with Mautic is that it’s just complicated.

It’s complex to install, and difficult to integrate with other tools.

The documentation is overwhelming or non-existent, and there isn’t as much education out there to help you. You’ll be heavily reliant on the community forums as there is no full-time support team.

Mautic is also dependent on user contribution, which means improvements happen when they happen depending on resources and community availability.

Groundhogg on the other hand is a for-profit operation, incentivized to give you what you need, fast! With courses, constant education production, and a super responsive support team.

Stop GETTING TIED UP with integrations! Connect your plugins in seconds.

With Mautic, you have to use expensive third party products like  Zapier to connect your WordPress plugins.

But with Groundhogg, your WordPress site and all your plugins connect seamlessly.

This is because Groundhogg is a plugin itself, and has direct access to all the data in WooCommerce, LearnDash, BuddyBoss, MemberPress, and more!

You can view all related information in the contact record, filter it, and use it in conditional logic! Yeah, it’s cool, we know.

You’re not the only one fed up with Mautic!

These real Groundhogg customers have already made the switch and are happier for it.

Is Groundhogg actually better than Mautic?

Groundhogg is different from Mautic. And sometimes different is better! Groundhogg is fundamentally different in that Groundhogg is installed on WordPress so that it can talk directly with all your other plugins.

Being installed on WordPress gives you a major advantage. You will be able to get set up faster, deploy faster, and see results faster.

Will you migrate me from Mautic to Groundhogg?

We offer a simple migration service. Will will migrate your contacts and import as much other data as we can, like tags and notes.

We do not migrate automations, emails, or other marketing assets.

Does Groundhogg charge a success tax? (More money for more contacts)

No! We charge a flat-rate annual fee for our software, support, and updates, regardless of the number of contacts you have.

Are there any other costs associated with Groundhogg?

There are only 3 potential additional costs outside of Groundhogg.

SMTP

Groundhogg is “bring your own SMTP.” We offer API integrations with the most popular choices. The combined cost of Groundhogg + SMTP is still much cheaper than Mautic in the long run.

Plus, you also have the advantage of switching SMTP services at any time if you find you don’t like working with them.

SMS

If you want to send text messages you will need to integrate Twilio or another SMS service.

Hosting

You likely already have a hosting account, and Groundhogg will work on even the most basic of hosting providers.

However, as you send more traffic to your site you will eventually need to get yourself a solid hosting plan, which you’d need anyway if you’re   serious.

Do you offer monthly payments?

No. Why? For many reasons. Mainly, because monthly payments attract more tire kickers and eat up a lot of our time and support resources.

Do I need to use WordPress to use Groundhogg?

You must have a WordPress installation to install Groundhogg, but your primary site does not necessarily need to be WordPress. While it is easier if you just use WordPress for everything, we have many customers that only use WordPress on a sub domain to install Groundhogg.

Do I still need WP Fusion?

In most cases if you are already using WP Fusion you will no longer need it.

WP Fusion does offer some plugin integrations that we don’t provide natively, so for that reason if you already have WP Fusion it may be worth keeping.

Can I get a refund?

Yes! If you don’t like the demo we’ll give you your $1 back. If you decide to purchase a plan after the demo, you can get a full refund no questions asked with the first 14 days of signing up.

Stop struggling with CRM. It’s time to leave Mautic!

When you use Mautic you’re making life harder for yourself and your team.

Join thousands of businesses that have made the switch to Groundhogg and regain 100s of hours in wasted time, ditch expensive third-party integrations, and relax!
