angeboten vs verfügbar
available
'verfügbar' and 'angeboten' can both mean that you can get or use something. 'verfügbar' mainly says that something is there, accessible, or free. 'angeboten' places more emphasis on someone actively making this thing available as a choice, for example a shop, a school, or a company. A product can be 'verfügbar' even if no one is especially advertising it. A course is 'angeboten' when it is part of a program. The words can be confused because both are often used with goods, courses, or services. In practice: 'verfügbar' asks about the status, while 'angeboten' asks about the offer made by someone.
angeboten

verfügbar
