Why do different total stock market indexes have different returns?

From my understanding VTI and ITOT are both nearly identical total stock market ETFs with the same ER and therefore should have negligible difference in returns. I hold ITOT in Fidelity. However, looking at todays return, VTI is up 10.15% and ITOT is up only 9.61%. Going back 1 year, VTI is up 4.12% and ITOT is up 3.59%. Why is this?
