Across 299 workspaces audited this week, the median team is sitting on 26.7% ghost seats — about $3,825/year of reclaimable spend per company.

Airtable led the waste board at 39.1% inactive seats, driven by trial creep and stalled cross-team pilots. Slack came in at 29.8%, Microsoft 365 at 28.5%, and Salesforce at 15.3%.

SeatMap.AI operators reclaimed a combined $214,224 in annualized spend the week of 2025-08-04 — most of it from routine contractor and role-change cleanup, not one-off big wins.
