They are related. And context can influence subtext.

Okay. Take the sentence “Would you like to have a coffee”

The context is what happens around you that moment. Subtext is additional meaning to a word that is not in its stated facts. But rather implied.

Is this in an office? Then, the subtext might just be getting coffee or that you look tired.

If the context is you’re just about to drop someone off at their place after a date, the subtext is that they want to spend more time and maybe even get more intimate with you.
