Oh God, where do I even begin?!
Sparta has two kings which is based predominantly on heritage. Everyone is more or less politically equal in Sparta (The actual Spartans, at least. The 'non-spartans' or 'Helots', had no rights and were basically there at the leisure of their spartan masters, but it was effectively communist-esque provided you were a spartan)
Whereas Plato's Republic is a lot more like a meritocracy; someone is intellectual and loves learning therefore they should rule because they are lovers of truth and knowledge (this is the literal meaning of philosopher: 'philo' coming from the word 'to love' and 'soph' coming from the word for knowledge)
There's more but really you should simply read up on the two subjects to get a good understanding.
