Across 570 workspaces audited this week, the median team is sitting on 29.4% ghost seats — about $5,337/year of reclaimable spend per company.

Loom led the waste board at 36.1% inactive seats, driven by trial creep and stalled cross-team pilots. Slack came in at 27.4%, Microsoft 365 at 19.8%, and Salesforce at 15.6%.

SeatMap.AI operators reclaimed a combined $215,610 in annualized spend the week of 2025-08-11 — most of it from routine contractor and role-change cleanup, not one-off big wins.
