FAQ

How does SeatMap detect a zombie Jira account?

SeatMap reads your Jira seat roster and cross-references each user's last_active_at timestamp. Anything inactive for 30+ days is mechanically flagged as a ghost.

Will revoking a zombie Jira seat break anything?

No. Reclaim is reversible inside your Jira admin console for the first 30 days, and SeatMap logs every action in your audit trail.

What does this cost?

Starter is $19/mo. Growth ($199) unlocks Slack alerts and auto-reclaim. Scale ($499) adds Credential-Sharing Velocity checks for compliance teams.
