Gandi is free for a year and then expensive after - Namecheap may not be free but renewals and initial costs are much lower. StartSSL is free but revoke-ing costs money.

Revoking StartSSL is only $25. If you go 3 years without needing revocation then you're ahead of paying Namecheap or anyone else for basic domain validation.

Namecheap vs Gandi is like 6.5 vs 12 EUR. Yes is almost double, but I don't know if I would consider them as cheap and "expensive".

just checked now, Gandi is 40€/yr, not that expensive compared to big names like Verisign & co.
I have used in the past RapidSSL, but it is same price, 50$/yr.
I've just checked Namecheap and it's reselling other SSL like Comodo or Geotrust, but it looks less expensive, so yes, probably it's the best price.

At Gandi, a single-address standard SSL cert is $16/12€ per year.
The $50/40€ applies to multi-address certs (3 addresses)
