Good question! They actually are the same thing, but "alright" is considered to be an incorrect spelling of "all right." You should spell it like "all right" and not "alright," which is only acceptable in informal contexts. Ex: All right guys, time for us to go! Ex: All right, all right. I agree with your opinion.
