Across 344 workspaces audited this week, the median team is sitting on 30.6% ghost seats — about $7,664/year of reclaimable spend per company.

Notion led the waste board at 37.7% inactive seats, driven by trial creep and stalled cross-team pilots. Slack came in at 27.1%, Microsoft 365 at 23.2%, and Salesforce at 17.3%.

SeatMap.AI operators reclaimed a combined $65,108 in annualized spend the week of 2025-10-06 — most of it from routine contractor and role-change cleanup, not one-off big wins.
