Across 492 workspaces audited this week, the median team is sitting on 31.4% ghost seats — about $4,840/year of reclaimable spend per company.

1Password led the waste board at 44.3% inactive seats, driven by trial creep and stalled cross-team pilots. Slack came in at 29.1%, Microsoft 365 at 23.8%, and Salesforce at 14%.

SeatMap.AI operators reclaimed a combined $107,744 in annualized spend the week of 2026-11-02 — most of it from routine contractor and role-change cleanup, not one-off big wins.
