A little trivia for you
A little trivia for you - ZeroSSL is apparently named after their average user rating of ZERO. Nothing works. Send yourself a verification email and in the 4 seconds it takes to show up it is declared no longer valid - endless loops of broken functionality ... what a piece o' ...

We regret to hear about your frustrating experience. This does not align with our intentions, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused. The ZeroSSL team consistently reviews bug reports from our users, and we are confident that the email verification is now working flawlessly. Of course, it could be the case that you encountered some bug back then.
FRAUD

We appreciate your clarification. It seems there may have been a misunderstanding regarding the billing structure. Please note that ZeroSSL operates on a subscription-based model with monthly and yearly billing options. The pricing details are available on our website. We encourage users to contact our support team for any clarification or assistance.
From what I have been using
From what I have been using, I can say that ZeroSSL is undoubtedly the first real alternative to Let’s Encrypt. It offers free SSL certificates with easy and reliable API and UI.
The best thing about it is the ease, you will have no problem in setting it up or keeping an eye on certificates.

Thank you for your positive feedback! We're thrilled to be considered a reliable alternative to Let's Encrypt. It's fantastic to hear that you find ZeroSSL user-friendly with an easy-to-navigate API and UI. If you have any more insights or suggestions, feel free to share. We appreciate your support!
I signed up with them to order an SSL…
I signed up with them to order an SSL certificate for my website. They charged $10 per month, but it was not so clear as to why. I tried to set up a certificate, but the verification process was very cumbersome, so I cancelled the process and got my certificate from DigiCert in 4 hours. I was unable to stop the $10 a month billing, until I finally found out that I have to delete my account to stop the billing. They have no downgrade to free option. My opinion is they are a 100% ripoff ans scam. Stay away. I paid these con artists $40 before I was able to delete my account. Screen print the Delete confirmation, to show your credit card company, in case these jokers keep billing you. Next time, just buy a rapidSSL certificate from your hosting provider.

It's important to clarify that every user can cancel their subscription at any time by visiting https://app.zerossl.com/subscription or delete their account at https://app.zerossl.com/account, which automatically stops the subscription.
it doesn't call free
it doesn't call free, they offer a free trial of 90 days. do not recommend it, this is just a wastage of time and it's a solution at all.

We apologize for any confusion. Indeed, we provide 3x90-day certificates for free as a trial, after which users can upgrade to the Basic plan for $10 to continue receiving service. This helps cover costs for website and API users. The ACME service remains free for those who need certificates. We appreciate your understanding and value your feedback. If you have further questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
No longer working
Had a certificate stuck on verifying for the past year. Support were no help and even after completely deleting my account, I still can't get a certificate. Other reviews say you're limited to 3 free certificates now which is probably caused the issue but there are no error messages saying that. I've moved to Let's Encrypt and will never use ZeroSSL again.

You don't need to pay them ...
If you are willing to go through the motions to generate a new certificate every 90 days you might as well save the $10/month and just use github/crypt-le. Zerossl is a bait-and-switch operation, all the review sites claiming it offers free 90-day certificates are wrong or outdated.

Don't use this service
If you pay for this you're getting scammed.
Used to use this service when it was actually free and basically a LetsEncrypt frontend. Now they charge a overpriced monthly subscription fee after a trial period. Pathetic.
I now just use LetsEncrypt with Certbot (certbot . eff . org) on the command line to get free certificates.

We appreciate your feedback. Indeed, we operate independently as a Certificate Authority offering 1-year certificates as well. We understand your preference for Let's Encrypt and Certbot. If you have any specific concerns or suggestions for improvement, feel free to share, and we'll do our best to address them.
Please note that you would also get free 90d certificates with our ACME service.
This used to be SSLforFree
This used to be SSLforFree and this migrated to ZeroSSL, it used to be free forever for 90 days certificates, but since the migration, you will be charged after 3x 90 days with a minimum $10 per month. The support is unprofessional, you don't get an answer on your questions properly, as they know their charge is out of proportion. You can get these services elsewhere for $10- $20 a year, and that is then for yearly based certificates.
Of cause it could be that ZeroSSL made a mistake programming their website and accidentally calling it "100% Free for Ever", it still shows it there, but leaving it that way it is misleading, better call it "TRIAL period for 3x 90 days". With one single domain name registered they make you start paying after 3x 90 days, when the BASIC program stops

Not a free service
This service is far from free. I did have this basic service for 1 certificate, but indeed after 2x renew , I suddenly had to upgrade and had to start paying. ZeroSSL are not clear with their policies.

Easy to use and fair with price
It was easy to issue my 90-day certificates with ZeroSSL and installation was very quick.
Advice for improvement:
I am getting emails for already renewed certificates which is annoying and I hope this will be fixed soon.

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with issuing and installing certificates! We value your input and are committed to improving our service.
Not free anymore
The website used to count only active certificates in the free tier and now it also counts the expired ones so you have to pay if you wanna review. Would not recommend using.

Hi Sebastian,
Please note that the old website was only a frontend for Let's Encrypt certificates, while the newly designed ZeroSSL website offers a management tool for your certificates, as well as different types of premium certificates. (multi-domain, wildcard, and 1-year certificates)
In addition to that, we offer now our own certificates and are not using LE anymore, this is also the reason we offer a Freemium plan for all newly registered customer, if you want to have a premium certificate or use ZeroSSL for a longer time we ask for a small service fee of $10 a month or 96$ a year.
Best regards,
Andreas
Free Plan is actually a trail
The free plan allows a maximum of 5 30-day certs, but once you renew one you'll end up with a new one and an expired one (which you can't remove), both count towards the 5 max.
It all works pretty will, which would warrant 4 or 5 starts, but stating something is free when it's really a trail it's not honest and therefor 1 star.

Dodgy and untrustworthy
Pretty dodgy company - if you subscribe and then cancel your subscription, it will revoke all of your certificates. Only a free trial for actual free certificates. Actually subscribed and paid and then cancelled without ever using it because of how dishonest and untrustworthy it is.
("Any certificates that exceed the subscription plan you are downgrading to will be revoked automatically")

Hi Jax,
Compared to other SSL vendors where you have to buy every certificate individually, we offer a flat monthly fee which comes with a guaranteed amount of premium SSL certificates.
➡ Of course we have to revoke the certificates in case a customer decides to cancel the subscription, because of the recurring service fee we ask from our customers.
If for example you decide to cancel your subscription after 6 months, you only paid for 6 months, compared to a prepaid 1y certificate at other vendors.
So in the end you have to decided for yourself which payment method you prefer, prepaid costs for every individual certificate or a recurring free.
Best regards,
Andreas
This is no longer a free service
This is no longer a free service; it is a service with a free trial period. Do not be fooled.
I used this service for a couple of years before it was taken over by the current owners. It provided a friendly front end for providing Let's Encrypt certified SSL certificates. On the plus side they pushed me into learning how to use the Let's Encrypt service directly and to set things up to auto renew in the background which it turned out wasn't so hard after all.

There was once 'SSL For Free'...
There was once 'SSL For Free', but then ZeroSSL showed up and destroyed it. They say it's still free, alas it's false advertising, ZeroSSL is anything but free.

they took over the Free SSL service i…
they took over the Free SSL service i was using for 2 years. Along came renewal day and it all broke. They explained i could have 3x 30day certs, or 1x 90day cert, and thats it. No more. No renewals. Anything else is paid only.
So its not free. Theres a 'trial' period !!
bye.
---- lol. They reply after 183 days - thats over six months !!! (i guess they are getting better!!)
And only to say that "Freemium" means Pay, or their other plans of Pay, or Pay...
I wont do business with companies that lie, and take six months to reply to their own mistakes. Pathetic.
