There is no difference between a free SSL certificate and a paid SSL certificate other then the company who issues you it.
Companies you buy certificates from are likely to be 'trusted'. If a certificate signer is trusted, you will not see any SSL errors in your browser. A free SSL certificate provider is unlikely to be trusted, and therefore, you'll see an error when using a free certificate. Nevertheless, the encryption is exactly the same and both offer the same level of encryption security.
Some of the companies you buy SSL certificates from may offer insurance, this is an added bonus.
