Deal Flow vs Powertic CRM for Mautic

The short answer

If you host Mautic yourself, the choice is usually settled by one sentence on Powertic’s own page: “Currently only customers hosted on Powertic have access.” Deal Flow is a plugin you download and unzip into the Mautic you already run, for $149 one-time. Powertic CRM is a kanban pipeline that Powertic’s page describes as living inside Mautic for the instances Powertic hosts. Both give you a drag-and-drop deal board; the practical fork is whether you want to keep your own hosting or move it. If you are staying self-hosted, that narrows it quickly.

Everything below is sourced. Each Powertic statement is a sentence from Powertic’s own published page, checked on 2026-08-14 and linked under Sources and method. Where their page is silent about a capability, this page says so rather than guessing.

Side by side

“Not described on their published page” means exactly that: as of 2026-08-14 Powertic’s product page does not mention the capability. It is not a claim that the product cannot do it. Where Powertic does describe something, the wording quoted is theirs.

The deciding factor: where Mautic runs

Most Mautic pipeline shortlists come down to hosting before they come down to features. Powertic is a Mautic hosting and services company, and its product page states plainly: “Currently only customers hosted on Powertic have access.” That is not a knock — it is a clear statement of who the plugin is for.

Deal Flow is built for the other case. If Mautic already runs on your own server and you intend to keep it there, Deal Flow installs into that instance: you download a zip and unzip it into the plugins directory, the same way you add any Mautic plugin. Your deals live in your database, next to your contacts, on your infrastructure. The walkthrough is in the installation guide.

What Powertic describes

Powertic’s page describes “a Trello or Pipedrive-like experience within Mautic to manage your sales or any other kanban-style flow,” built with a “Drag-and-drop interface.” It describes marking deals won and lost, metrics that update as deals move (“reflected in the indexes at the top”), and pipeline movements written back to the contact: the plugin “updates the contact history with all the movements made in the pipeline.”

Two capabilities Powertic describes are worth calling out honestly, because they are real and Deal Flow does not match them today. Their page says the plugin “creates new filters on segments for you to automate your sales funnels,” and that inside the campaign builder you can “create opportunities, change stages and mark deals as closed or lost automatically.” It also describes the same bidirectional stage sync Deal Flow does: “the Mautic stages will automatically change too, and vice versa.”

What Deal Flow adds

Deal Flow installs the record Mautic never shipped with: a deal with a title, an amount, a currency, an expected close date, an owner, and a stage that belongs to the deal rather than to a person.

• Kanban pipelines — drag deals between stages, and define as many pipelines as the business needs.
• Buying committee roles — attach several contacts to one deal and label what each of them does: champion, decision maker, blocker, influencer. This is the part with no equivalent described on Powertic’s page.
• Notes, tasks and attachments on the deal — the activity trail lives with the opportunity instead of scattered across contact records.
• Bidirectional stage sync — deal stages can drive Mautic contact stages, so existing segments and campaigns keyed on stage keep working.
• REST API and webhooks — every deal operation is scriptable, and there is a published n8n node for automation platforms.

Where Deal Flow is weaker

Be honest with yourself about your first requirement. If driving Mautic campaigns directly from pipeline events is the reason you are looking — new segment filters, and campaign-builder actions that create opportunities or change stages automatically — Powertic’s page describes both, and Deal Flow does not add them today. Deal Flow keeps its integration at the stage-sync layer instead, which covers segments and campaigns that already key on contact stage but does not add new campaign actions. If that automation depth is your third requirement rather than your first, it weighs less; if it is your first, weigh it heavily.

How to choose

• You self-host Mautic and want to keep it that way — a plugin that installs into your own instance is the shape that fits, and that is what Deal Flow is for.
• You would rather Powertic ran your Mautic — their bundled pipeline is worth the conversation; start on their page.
• Automating campaigns from pipeline events is your first need — Powertic’s page describes segment filters and campaign-builder actions; confirm the hosting requirement alongside it.
• You track a buying committee, not just a contact — Deal Flow labels multiple contacts per deal by role, which has no equivalent described on Powertic’s page.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use the Powertic CRM plugin if I host Mautic myself?

Powertic’s product page states: “Currently only customers hosted on Powertic have access.” That sentence was checked on 2026-08-14. If you run Mautic on your own infrastructure and intend to keep it there, confirm availability with Powertic before you plan around their plugin.

What is the difference between Deal Flow and Powertic CRM?

Both put a kanban sales pipeline inside Mautic. Deal Flow installs into the Mautic you already run, for $149 one-time. Powertic’s page describes a Trello or Pipedrive-like board inside Mautic and states access is currently limited to instances Powertic hosts. Powertic also describes segment filters and campaign-builder actions, which Deal Flow does not add today.

Does Deal Flow drive Mautic campaigns from pipeline changes?

Deal Flow syncs deal stages with Mautic contact stages, so existing segments and campaigns keyed on stage keep working. It does not add dedicated campaign-builder actions or new segment filters today; Powertic’s page describes both of those.

How much does Deal Flow cost?

Deal Flow is $149 one-time, per Mautic instance, with unlimited users and one year of updates included. There is no per-seat charge and no monthly fee.
