not available vs isn't available

Both are correct phrases, but they’re used in different contexts. "Not available" is a more formal and general way to indicate that something isn’t accessible or obtainable. On the other hand, "isn't available" is more specific and informal, often used in spoken language to convey the current unavailability of something.
