Doesn't StartSSL not provide free certificates in all markets? Are there any of 
the initial target markets for which StartSSL does not provide free 
certificates?

Are payments available for hosted apps, or just privileged/certified apps?

If payments are available for hosted apps, then that means that the prevention 
of replays would have to take place on the server, not in the app itself. 
Otherwise, the MitM that is forcing the replay would just remove the code that 
prevents the replays.
