Free
Certs from LetsEncrypt are free, always, not just as a short-term trial.

Con
•••
90 days
Certs currently are only issued for 90 days at a time. The expectation is that users will automate renewal so that this is not an issue.

RickZeeland's Experience
Free certificates that can even be used in an automated way, see Caddy webserver.

Con
•••
Linux oriented
Not Windows friendly, although it can be done using the right tools.

Pro
•••
Non-profit
Lets Encrypt is a non-profit organization sponsored by EFF, Linux Foundation, and other major donors. Removing profit as a motive means their focus is security, stability, and open source, not their bank account.

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.

•••
Automated
It is fairly straightforward to totally automate certificates and renewals such that you never have to worry about the dreaded "certificate expired" error. There are numerous open-source implementations of clients to fit many situations.
