On the surface there appears to be no difference between these words. However, in some cases the word 'let' allows an individual to proceed without any pre- conditions or supervision on the way to the conclusion. The word 'allow' suggests that conditions have been put in place to reach a conclusion. Either before the action has commenced or upon the actions conclusion.

"Let" typically implies giving permission or allowing someone to do something. "Allow" also means to give permission, but it can also refer to making something possible or giving someone the opportunity to do something.
