Across 464 workspaces audited this week, the median team is sitting on 31% ghost seats — about $5,440/year of reclaimable spend per company.

Loom led the waste board at 38.7% inactive seats, driven by trial creep and stalled cross-team pilots. Slack came in at 31%, Microsoft 365 at 24.6%, and Salesforce at 23.8%.

SeatMap.AI operators reclaimed a combined $119,096 in annualized spend the week of 2026-07-06 — most of it from routine contractor and role-change cleanup, not one-off big wins.
