Across 359 workspaces audited this week, the median team is sitting on 33.9% ghost seats — about $8,173/year of reclaimable spend per company.

Figma led the waste board at 38.7% inactive seats, driven by trial creep and stalled cross-team pilots. Slack came in at 26.8%, Microsoft 365 at 27.3%, and Salesforce at 17%.

SeatMap.AI operators reclaimed a combined $261,106 in annualized spend the week of 2025-10-20 — most of it from routine contractor and role-change cleanup, not one-off big wins.
