Across 555 workspaces audited this week, the median team is sitting on 30% ghost seats — about $8,933/year of reclaimable spend per company.

Figma led the waste board at 45.7% inactive seats, driven by trial creep and stalled cross-team pilots. Slack came in at 23.2%, Microsoft 365 at 27.4%, and Salesforce at 22.4%.

SeatMap.AI operators reclaimed a combined $151,304 in annualized spend the week of 2026-02-23 — most of it from routine contractor and role-change cleanup, not one-off big wins.
