From a bill nobody
reads to a list
you can act on

Ghostseats does one thing: it tells you which software seats you are paying for that nobody uses, and makes sure you cancel them in time. It is not a place to manage your vendors — you probably already have one of those.

The flow

Six steps,
one decision

Five of these happen without you. The only step that needs a human is the one where somebody says yes, cut it.

  1. 01

    Connect billing and your directory

    Read-only. Your card statements and invoices on one side, the list of who actually works here on the other.

  2. 02

    Every licence lands in one list

    Including the tools bought on somebody's personal card, which is usually where the surprises are.

  3. 03

    Seats get matched to real logins

    Not who a seat is assigned to — who actually opened it. Assigned and used are very different numbers.

  4. 04

    Ghost seats surface with a price on them

    Every unused seat, what it costs a year, and who in the business owns the budget it comes out of.

  5. 05

    You approve what gets cut

    Nothing is cancelled automatically. The list goes to whoever owns it, and they decide.

  6. 06

    The renewal gets watched for you

    Most contracts auto-renew unless you cancel inside a window you have almost certainly forgotten. We watch it.

The list

Everything you pay for, in one place

Most finance teams have never seen this view, because nothing in the accounting stack was built to produce it. Card statements show a vendor and a total, not a seat count.

Read-only connections

Billing, expense and identity systems. We read. We never write, and never cancel on our own.

One licence list

Every tool, every seat, every price — including the ones bought outside procurement.

Real usage, not assignment

Last actual login. A seat assigned to someone who never opens it is not a used seat.

The window

The deadline nobody diarised

A contract you meant to cancel in year one and are still paying for in year three is the most common finding, and the most annoying.

Ghost seat detection

Dormant accounts, departed staff, duplicate tools doing the same job in two departments.

Renewal windows

Every auto-renew date and the deadline to cancel, surfaced while you can still act.

Savings tracking

What you cut, what it saved, traced to a specific licence and a specific date.

How the matching works. Tool names on an invoice rarely match the product you actually use, and no two vendors bill the same way. AI reads the line items and reconciles them against your directory and your login data. It proposes the match — a human confirms anything ambiguous before it counts.

The trend

Proof it actually went down

Anyone can produce a list of things to cut. The number that matters is the bill twelve months later.

Cancelled this year

$412,000

Still ghosting

$96,400

Monthly software bill, twelve months of cutting. The line only goes one way once somebody is finally watching it.
