Su significado es el mismo:
1. EN CUANTO – es un conector temporal que se usa para hablar de un hecho inmediatamente posterior a otro
EN CUANTO+SUBJUNTIVO, porque se trata de una cosa hipotética.
“En cuanto llegue a casa, te llamaré.”
“En cuanto me digan algo, te llamaré.”
2. TAN PRONTO COMO– es otro conector temporal que se usa para hablar de un hecho inmediatamente posterior a otro
TAN PRONTO COMO+SUBJUNTIVO, porque se trata de una cosa hipotética
“Tan pronto como sepa algo, te lo digo.”
- English (UK)
I know they are synonyms and both mean as soon as, but I was trying to find out if they had any slight subtle usage differences or if they were completely interchangeable and can always replace one another

@hello_hola
Sí pueden intercambiarse:
“En cuanto sepa algo te llamo”
“Tan pronto como sepa algo te llamo”
No hay ninguna diferencia.

"En cuanto" is what we use in daily life. The other sounds more formal, I personally never use it.
