Across 397 workspaces audited this week, the median team is sitting on 28.2% ghost seats — about $6,586/year of reclaimable spend per company.

Loom led the waste board at 44.5% inactive seats, driven by trial creep and stalled cross-team pilots. Slack came in at 29.9%, Microsoft 365 at 22.7%, and Salesforce at 23.9%.

SeatMap.AI operators reclaimed a combined $212,552 in annualized spend the week of 2026-04-20 — most of it from routine contractor and role-change cleanup, not one-off big wins.
