It seems like a good EU alternative.

EU? There’s almost zero information on the company, no privacy policy? The only place I found any mention is the footer, “HID Global Corporation, part of ASSA ABLOY”. Assa Abloy seems Swedish but HID Global is a US company as far as a quick search goes. But without a proper company info page and privacy policy I wouldn’t consider it anywhere near a “good alternative” regardless.

#6Is this a canary?
What's gonna happen if I were to begin or continue using one letsencrypt certificate from ... Greenland? Cuba? The EU?
Has letsencrypt been served with a subpoena?

HID was originally American and Scottish, but became fully American in 1994.
HID was acquired by Assa Abloy in 2000. No idea whether that means we now consider it Swedish.
ZeroSSL used to be Austrian until their acquisition in 2024.
I used to work for a company that got acquired by HID. It looks like HID has retained their original offices in some form.

3 90-day ACME certs for free. 180€/year for unlimited 90-day certs and 5 yearly ones.
That’s a pretty steep increase. I would almost be more interested in a monthly fee per cert.

No it isn't. Not unless it's free.
This is the main reason letsencrypt is so popular.
