Apparently implies a deduction. It means "I conclude that". For example. Apparently, the guy lying motionless in the street is dead. It is apparent that the guy is dead. It appears that the guy is dead.
Allegedly, on ther hand, is a preliminary statement. It implies that no conclusion has been reached. An allegation is like an accusation. For example. Allegedly, the woman kneeling next to the body, murdered him. This adverb is used to say "it has been stated but not yet proven that".
I hope this helps.

Apparently means it is clear that it happened. Allegedly means that it is claimed to have happened.

Apparently is what that appears obvious to the onlooker and allegedly is what is said to be (by others).

ALLEGEDLY means claimed but not yet proven to have taken place, have been committed, or be as described.
APPARENTLY means according to what seems to be the case but may not actually be so.

Apparently means you're judging by appearance.
Allegedly means judging by an accusation somebody made.
