I never got round to switching from using SSLMate - only $16/yr (equates to around £10/yr for me) for a basic (domain.tld + www.domain.tld) cert, but quickly gets expensive if you want more than that https://sslmate.com/pricing
They have a client script that will automatically renew and retrieve certs if you want to do that, or you can do it manually. TBH, once you've set up your services (the script will provide example config snippets on request), just getting updated is a matter of a couple of minutes every year. Given that it's only around £10, and only a couple of minutes to renew once a year, I've just not had any particular pressure to change.

At my last job, we used GoDaddy for certs - not sure how much was GoDaddy and how much was my lack of experience, but it used to seem like a right PITA at times. I switched to SSLMate for the (linux) systems I managed.

Oh yes, and when I have had any issues, they've been quite helpful and responsive.
