Answer first
Let’s Encrypt is DV/ACME. DigiCert sells OV/EV and enterprise validation. Choose by validation and support needs, not cipher strength.
Tradeoffs
Pick the control you need: validation depth, wildcard support, key custody, or operational tempo. Encryption strength is not the differentiator in these comparisons.
What this platform does
One request shape for inventory, orders, webhooks and optional deploy targets. Multi-CA is an explicit provider field — not automatic failover after a challenge is published.
What we will not claim
No official partnership. No “winner.” No encryption-strength ranking. Commercial CA prices come from your contract with that CA. Sources: CA documentation and CA/Browser Forum Baseline Requirements.
