A side-by-side editorial comparison of GetResponse and Mautic — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
GetResponse opens to AI assistants via MCP as France and Italy rewrite open tracking
GetResponse launched an MCP connection in early October, letting Claude or ChatGPT query an account's email marketing. Later in the month it shipped open-tracking consent for France and Italy, following CNIL and Garante guidance, and tighter real-time subscription syncing between stores and GetResponse. Ecommerce campaigns also moved onto block-based Templates with cart and price-drop elements.
Mautic patches remote code execution in campaign import across three supported branches.
Mautic, the open-source marketing automation platform, released 7.2.2, 6.0.10 and 5.2.12 on 26 October as security releases, including remote code execution through campaign import and a Twig sandbox escape in theme templates. September's 7.2.1 was a bug sweep after the 7.2.0 feature release that added transactional emails, A/B testing for segment emails and a Marketplace API.

Two pressures are shaping the roadmap. Regulation is forcing changes to a core email metric, and GetResponse has answered with product plus a webinar series. AI access is moving outward at the same time, from a template finder inside the product to outside assistants. The ecommerce line keeps closing the gap between store data and messaging.
Consent tooling is likely to widen if other regulators follow France and Italy, though the entries show only those two. The October roundup's mention of more AI workflows points to continued automation work.

The project keeps three branches (5.x, 6.x, 7.x) under coordinated security maintenance, with fixes landing on all of them the same day. Feature work comes in larger minor releases, followed by point releases that fix campaigns, forms and the builder.
Expect 7.3 release candidates next, given 7.2.0 followed a two-RC pattern, with 5.x and 6.x continuing to receive security-only releases.
