What you actually get
A listing plus a short written review in a general AI directory that also keeps a public ranking of the tools it holds. The link genuinely follows: outbound links on their ranking page carry no rel at all, including the ones to ChatGPT, Claude and Canva. They claim about 5,000 monthly visitors, which is small, so treat the written review and the followed link as the product rather than the traffic.

How to submit to HD Robots

  1. Open the submit page
    https://hdrobots.com/submit states the $9 offer and what it includes.
  2. Enter your email
    The visible field is an email box; everything else on the form is hidden Stripe plumbing.
  3. Pay
    Checkout is a Stripe widget embedded in the WordPress page. This is where a run without a budget stops.
  4. Wait for the review
    They write the review themselves, and no turnaround time is published.

Gotchas

There is no free tier, so the page that looks like a submission form is a checkout.
No turnaround is published anywhere, and because they write a review by hand the wait is theirs rather than a queue you can watch.
The claimed audience is around 5,000 monthly visitors, so the followed link is the substance of the $9 and the traffic is not.
