Both of them are correct!
you can say:早上好 or 上午好。
However, in my view, 早上 prefers the time from 6:00 to 10:00
上午prefers the time from 8:00 to almost 12:00.
Because it contains the word:午， it means noon or midday.
Hope it will help you. If I don't explain it clearly, just let me know. :)

There is no strict line between two words.
I believe 早上 is a relative early time, usually between 6:00-8:00. When we greet people early in the morning, we say 早上好。
While 上午 is a more general word, which refers to any time before noon.

早上 is more like early in the morning. You do not usually say it is 早上 when it is after 9 am.
上午 is more like mid morning, between morning and noon. For instance, 上午10点 sounds normal, but 早上11点 does not sound quite right.
