Across 240 workspaces audited this week, the median team is sitting on 30.1% ghost seats — about $4,100/year of reclaimable spend per company.

Slack led the waste board at 48.8% inactive seats, driven by trial creep and stalled cross-team pilots. Slack came in at 23.8%, Microsoft 365 at 23%, and Salesforce at 16.2%.

SeatMap.AI operators reclaimed a combined $169,124 in annualized spend the week of 2026-03-23 — most of it from routine contractor and role-change cleanup, not one-off big wins.
