Across 376 workspaces audited this week, the median team is sitting on 28.7% ghost seats — about $7,033/year of reclaimable spend per company.
Airtable led the waste board at 44.5% inactive seats, driven by trial creep and stalled cross-team pilots. Slack came in at 23.2%, Microsoft 365 at 24.5%, and Salesforce at 17.5%.
SeatMap.AI operators reclaimed a combined $76,988 in annualized spend the week of 2026-02-09 — most of it from routine contractor and role-change cleanup, not one-off big wins.
