Across 424 workspaces audited this week, the median team is sitting on 23.8% ghost seats — about $4,882/year of reclaimable spend per company.

Loom led the waste board at 39.4% inactive seats, driven by trial creep and stalled cross-team pilots. Slack came in at 32%, Microsoft 365 at 20.9%, and Salesforce at 20%.

SeatMap.AI operators reclaimed a combined $104,092 in annualized spend the week of 2026-08-03 — most of it from routine contractor and role-change cleanup, not one-off big wins.
