Non-competitive inhibition occurs when an inhibitor binds to an enzyme at a site other than the active site, changing the enzyme's shape and reducing its activity. Allosteric inhibition involves an inhibitor binding to a specific regulatory site on the enzyme, causing a conformational change that decreases enzyme activity. The key difference is that non-competitive inhibition does not compete with the substrate for the active site, while allosteric inhibition involves binding to a separate site on the enzyme.
