How much does a 25-person Slack workspace typically waste on inactive seats?

About $435/yr on Slack Pro at list pricing ($7.25/user/mo annual). That's ~18% of seats sitting inactive — the benchmark for teams your size.

Does the audit require Slack admin access?

Yes, but read-only. SeatMap.AI asks for users:read, users:read.email, and channels:read only. No write scopes, no message content, no DMs. Every reclaim requires your explicit one-click confirmation with a 24-hour user bypass window.

What plan do 25-person teams usually run on Slack?

Slack Pro at ~$7.25/user/mo (annual). At 25 seats that's $181.25/mo, $2,175/yr in Slack costs alone.

Will Slack notify the inactive users before deactivation?

Yes. SeatMap.AI sends a one-time DM and email 24 hours before deactivation with a one-click bypass link. Truly inactive accounts ignore it and reclaim silently. Deactivation preserves all message history.

How it works

1. Connect Slack (read-only)
OAuth with users:read, users:read.email, channels:read. No write scopes. Nothing changes in your workspace.
2. See your ranked list in under 90 seconds
Every seat sorted by monthly cost, last login, last message, and Slack Connect status. Guests itemized separately.
3. Reclaim with a 24-hour bypass
Flagged users get a one-time DM + email with a bypass link. Truly inactive accounts reclaim silently at next billing cycle.
