It seems that "all right" is more formal, while "alright" is more informal.

"My answers were all right."
"My answers were alright."

The first works A LOT better.

"Will you come with me?" "Alright."
"Will you come with me?" "All right."

The first works A LOT better.

It just depends on the situation.

I guess if you can sub in "correct" for "right", then use "all right". If you can sub in "ok" for "right", then use "alright."
