Across 672 workspaces audited this week, the median team is sitting on 30.4% ghost seats — about $8,424/year of reclaimable spend per company.
HubSpot led the waste board at 36.9% inactive seats, driven by trial creep and stalled cross-team pilots. Slack came in at 28%, Microsoft 365 at 18.4%, and Salesforce at 17.9%.
SeatMap.AI operators reclaimed a combined $135,244 in annualized spend the week of 2026-06-22 — most of it from routine contractor and role-change cleanup, not one-off big wins.
