With Unly, your chatting budget no longer needs chatter salaries or money reserved to recruit replacements. The agent handles conversations and media sales autonomously. Plan around actual account costs: content, traffic, subscription and applicable commissions.
You still need to manage timing: recorded sales are not necessarily cash available in the bank. Also plan Unly’s prepaid commission balance so the operating budget keeps pace with activity.

Remove team costs and retain account costs
Start with expenses that exist in an operation without chatters. You supply content and traffic; Unly executes configured chatting without human payroll or shifts to fund. Remove former team costs from the forecast when they have genuinely ended.
Retain committed production, useful tools, acquisition spending and your Unly plan costs. Separate recurring and one-off expenses. That reveals which reserve supports operations and which money can develop the account.
Separate sales, available funds and money received
Use Unly’s activity and sales view to understand what chatting generates. To pay a bill, also check funds available on the platform and their arrival in the bank account. These amounts are different stages of the same flow.
If you operate an agency, identify what actually belongs to it under the creator agreement. Account revenue does not automatically become agency cash. Build forecasts from expected settlements and their dates.
Plan Unly commission-balance top-ups
The Unly documentation distinguishes the subscription from the prepaid commission balance. Applicable commissions on AI media sales use the gross media price and are deducted from that balance. Create a top-up line linked to expected activity.
The terms of sale state that this balance is neither withdrawable nor refundable. It funds a specific purpose, so keep your bank reserve separate. You replace chatter compensation administration with an autonomous operating budget.
Test the reserve over four weeks
| Week | Opening balance | Receipts | Spending | Forecast balance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | €1,000 | €0 | €400 | €600 |
| 2 | €600 | €1,200 | €300 | €1,500 |
| 3 | €1,500 | €0 | €700 | €800 |
| 4 | €800 | €900 | €500 | €1,200 |
Enter spending on its due date, including the subscription and planned Unly top-ups. Then move one receipt a week later to test the low point. A positive month-end balance does not ensure every earlier bill was covered.
When activity increases, adjust variable costs from observed sales. The forecast helps anticipate a top-up or production expense without spending money already needed for another due date.
Review the budget instead of managing chatter schedules
Replace forecast receipts with confirmed movements and move late entries to revised dates. Check expenses and the commission balance. This can remain a short review because you are not allocating and paying a chatting team each week.
Invest recovered capacity in a defined production project or traffic source. Unly sustains conversations; the cash plan supports the next opportunities to sell.
Fund an account selling without a chatter team.
