It depends on the situation!
“Bring it on” is usually used to taunt the person you’re saying it to, or to encourage yourself before a hard situation.
e.g.
🦹♀️: “Do you want to fight?”
🦸♀️: “Bring it on!”
Or, a student might say “Bring it on!” before an exam.
“Have at it” is usually used when you are encouraging someone else to do something in a friendly way.
e.g.
🙋♂️: “Can I eat this?”
🙆♀️: “Have at it!”
However, there are definitely situations where you could use “have at it” instead of “bring it on”!
I hope that makes sense!!
