So is he / as is he

"so is/was does etc " and "as is/was/does etc" both carry the meaning of " what has just been said is also true about someone or something else" , So what's the difference between the two phrases?
Thanks.

Hi,

Do you mean like this?

eg Tom is an engineer. So is Mary.

eg Tom is an engineer. As is Mary.

No difference is intended. "So' is more common. 'As' sounds more stylish, more literary.
