Across 402 workspaces audited this week, the median team is sitting on 22.6% ghost seats — about $9,031/year of reclaimable spend per company.

Figma led the waste board at 43.5% inactive seats, driven by trial creep and stalled cross-team pilots. Slack came in at 23.4%, Microsoft 365 at 29.4%, and Salesforce at 14.8%.

SeatMap.AI operators reclaimed a combined $252,482 in annualized spend the week of 2025-09-29 — most of it from routine contractor and role-change cleanup, not one-off big wins.
