I believe this is an instance of writefreely with added fremium model, so it is not really an alternative, it is the same platform

Yes, it is, see https://writefreely.org/services/hosting WriteFreely can be installed and run on your own web server, but write.as saves you this effort.

Easy, adfree, freemium with an affordable price (and a generous free tier for those who want that).

I've used the software running this on a different instance of it. This is the flagship instance, and it's got a couple more features than the others do, namely the ability to publish to additional silos.

I like this blogging platform because it is minimalist and focused directly on the content.

Yes, we need more platforms like this. Wordpress is great, but it doesn't match the unique functionality offered here.
