"it says" or "it's saying"

I wonder if this is correct:

I'm looking at an advert you posted for a job in London. In the start date box it says it starts on 5th January, but the description bellow is saying it is to start ASAP.

Can "it says" and "it saying" be used interchngably? What's the difference?

How about:

The description is actually saying it is to start asap.

It says and it's saying are mostly interchangeable. However, if you we're saying "I am looking at your ad and ..." You would most likely use "it's saying". If you were to say " I looked at your add and... " you would use " it says". "It's saying" is a little more immediate, like something that is happening right now.
