Let's Encrypt is a free, automated (using ACME protocol), open CA that signs Domain-Verified certs for free. Signed certs work with all major browsers.
Can be used in an automated way, for an example see Caddy webserver.

Pros
Know any positive aspects of this option?
Cons
Con Domain-verified only
Only class 1 certificates are available (the kind others charge $10 or more for). Lets Encrypt does not do Extended Validation or EV certs, nor does it offer insurance or the other features traditional vendors offer. How much of a con this is depends very much on how much you value those services.
