Hello,
I know Comodo also provide a free SSL certificate service, you have to renew it manually from your client area every 3 months (So it's a good way to promote their other paid services).
But letsencrypt is the only one to provide free SSL certificate, with custom configuration and settings and SAN support (you can secure 1 to 100 domains with a single certificate).
They will also provide wildcards certificates in January 2018. So, if you find another free service, they will most likely provide a limited service, to ask you to pay for a paid certificate).

Let's Encrypt is the real free SSL provider as far as I know. There is one more option to go with Comodo's 3 motnh free SSL which is already integrated with cPanel to generate auto-SSL, but keeping track is a real pain if you are approaching it seriously and ongoing. If you find any other free SSL options, it should be integrated to the respective service offered by the provider and it should not be an independant SSL provider.

Yes, like @mobin said,
auto-SSL is the cPanel/WHM extension to provide free SSL certificates powered by Comodo (like Cloudflare). You can choose between auto-SSL certificate or Let's Encrypt.

No, paid SSL certificates are not about security. It will only add a marketing bonus to your website.

Widely used is the Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. CloudFlare also provides the free service. CACert, StartSSL, SSL for free are the free SSL providers.
