We know free (in the same sense as in free beer, though the meaning in its name is another "free") FreeBSD has monthly expenses, but probably much smaller. I know (from long existence) FreeBSD likely will still exist and stay free, so I can rely on this prediction and happily run my FreeBSD servers. The Monthly cost of letsencrypt.org, being so high, scares me into scepticism about it be still free (for "customer") and still exist in some future to come. I do use letsencrypt.org for one of our project (they want .org domain), but for the rest of the servers I get (university centrally covered) commercial SSL certificates. And this just suggests to keep it this way.
