I know there are several USB hub dongles that could be used in a similar manner, but what I’m looking for is something that occupies a single USB port and offers 3+ slots for SD and/or microSD cards, letting me browse them all from my computer. Are there any such products? I’m ok with buying off Aliexpress

Is there anything similar under 30 dollars?
Unlikely.
A decent single SD card reader is going to be in the $15-20 range. You want 3+ in a single package. So the price will be around 3x Plus the extra component costs needed to put them in the same package. Plus the general per-unit increase of costs for making a niche product.

That’s a single slot card reader, I need something with more slots for (micro)sd cards, like a single usb stick with 4 slots for microSD cards, mounting all of them at once
The second link had 4 slots, but do you mean 4 slots of the same exact type?
do you mean 4 slots of the same exact type?
Yes. I already have one of those multi-type/universal card readers. That is not what I’m looking for. I need something with several identical slots, either for SD or microSD cards
What is your end goal? There are for example raid „cards“ where you can plug in multiple SD cards and have it connect to SATA, like these: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EuUelXX
One solution I’ve seen is using a bunch of those USB adapters and a powered multi-USB hub.
