To be fair the Tories seem to be committing more money than Labour.
The Tories will cut tax for lower and middling earners (personal allowance and 40% tax band wil be raised), cutting inheritance tax and then spending £8 billion more on the NHS and doubling free child care. Apart from the tax cuts a lot of it could be in a Labour manifesto.
