Across 235 workspaces audited this week, the median team is sitting on 26.4% ghost seats — about $7,293/year of reclaimable spend per company.

GitHub led the waste board at 41.4% inactive seats, driven by trial creep and stalled cross-team pilots. Slack came in at 24.7%, Microsoft 365 at 22%, and Salesforce at 20.7%.

SeatMap.AI operators reclaimed a combined $110,824 in annualized spend the week of 2025-11-24 — most of it from routine contractor and role-change cleanup, not one-off big wins.
