Some time ago browser did differentiate between "cheap" and paid certificate by showing the name of the related company in the URL bar if u use a paid one... Back in those days, this was recognized as a sign of trust. Nowadays browsers don't show this anymore and there is no longer any reason to pay for a certificate.

Oh I see thank you
Jappyjan is talking about EV certificates which definitely still exist, but their value is still debatable.
Troy hunt made a good post on the subject.
Overall, don't buy a certificate, specially not an EV one.
