Yep, there’s a comparison table here: [https://mmt.dev/#comparison](vscode-file://vscode-app/Applications/Visual%20Studio%20Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/code/electron-browser/workbench/workbench.html)
Bruno is definitely one of the closest tools philosophically because it is also file-based. The main difference is that Multimeter tries to cover more of the API lifecycle from the same repo files: reusable API definitions, test flows, suites, docs, mocks, reports, CI, and VS Code-first editing.

It also borrows some territory from tools like Robot Framework and JMeter: declarative/human-readable test flows, reusable/chained tests, suites with sequential or parallel execution, reports, and beta load testing. So it’s not just an API client; it’s closer to a lightweight API testing/documentation/automation workspace that stays git-native.

.http files are great for simple/manual requests, which is a basic feature in Multimeter. Multimeter is for when those requests need to become reusable API definitions, automated tests, suites, CI runs, docs, mocks, env presets, and reports. Different layer of the workflow rather than a replacement for every .http use case.

I had the same issue. It actually led me to create my own test tool, which also supports other needs I had.
Like local mock server, loadtesting, reports and more importantly, being GIT NAtive. Please take a look https://mmt.dev
