This is why I never even started using Letsencrypt; looking at the fine print, you actually enter into some kind of contract ~~with some US entity~~ under US law, which I don't want even if it's the coolest of all FOSS foundations.
Here's a site that has some info:

I have used certum.pl for years and it looks like I might go back to them soon because my VPS provider doesn't offer bundled certs anymore.
I used to pay €40/year iirc.
I suspect it's gotten more expensive though.
edit:
oh looks like ZeroSSL are doing it letsencrypt-style with Acme protocol for €0.
edit2:
No, not more expensive. Some of the providers in the above link are labyrinthine and I couldn't even find a Pricing section - usually a sign that it's too expensive at least for a normal consumer - but others offer yearly certs for as little as €30 (taxes not included).
edit3:
Yeah some people are going to have a hard time accepting that a contract with a for-profit company under EU jurisdiction might be preferable to a contract with a non-profit under US jurisdiction.
ZeroSSL costs 180 per year for unlimited 90 day certs. I get the independence from US-based services, but I don't want to drop that kind of money on my toy domains.
I think you misunderstood something there; they're very explicitely offering free certs.
I just went 90% through the process (I might need them anyhow later this year), it's like this:
What you say is a PRO feature, unlimited certs with one account, is not meant as "unlimited in time" but "unlimited number of certs at any given time".
@A_norny_mousse @state_electrician Three certs are free. If you need more (or wildcard certs) you have to pay.
