How much does a 75-person Slack workspace typically waste on inactive seats?

About $2,700/yr on Slack Business+ at list pricing ($12.5/user/mo annual). That's ~24% 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 75-person teams usually run on Slack?

Slack Business+ at ~$12.5/user/mo (annual). At 75 seats that's $937.5/mo, $11,250/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 4 minutes
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.
