isn't of any help vs couldn't be of any help

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'Isn't of any help' is used to express that something is not helpful, while 'couldn't be of any help' is used to convey that someone was unable to provide assistance. The choice between them depends on the specific situation you are describing.
