Bugger. I was really excited for Let's Encrypt specifically for the possibility of a free wildcard cert.

I was thinking of building an app which would be under two domains like heroku.com/herokuapps.com and github.com/github.io and I rather not spend hundreds of dollars on two wildcard certs. Guess I'll just buy one and not use subdomains on the main site.

You can get a certificate covering multiple specific domains. https://github.com/letsencrypt/lets-encrypt-preview/issues/6...

A wildcard cert wouldn't cover both heroku.com and herokuapps.com anyway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcard_certificate

They said they'd rather not spend money buying two certificates.
Certs from Let’s Encrypt will be free.
