Across 607 workspaces audited this week, the median team is sitting on 22.6% ghost seats — about $8,126/year of reclaimable spend per company.

Asana led the waste board at 38.2% inactive seats, driven by trial creep and stalled cross-team pilots. Slack came in at 22.5%, Microsoft 365 at 27.4%, and Salesforce at 23.2%.

SeatMap.AI operators reclaimed a combined $136,894 in annualized spend the week of 2026-01-05 — most of it from routine contractor and role-change cleanup, not one-off big wins.
