Across 264 workspaces audited this week, the median team is sitting on 33.4% ghost seats — about $5,202/year of reclaimable spend per company.

Notion led the waste board at 37.5% inactive seats, driven by trial creep and stalled cross-team pilots. Slack came in at 27.3%, Microsoft 365 at 20.6%, and Salesforce at 15.9%.

SeatMap.AI operators reclaimed a combined $243,330 in annualized spend the week of 2026-10-26 — most of it from routine contractor and role-change cleanup, not one-off big wins.
