Nothing, as long as both are kept sealed from air and moisture. if both are exposed to air, they both become stale regardless of their state.
There will be some differences in opinion, but it’s just that; an opinion. It’s just a gimmick to make people believe that freshly ground beans are the purist form for making a good cup of coffee. While that has some truth depending on circumstances, it’s the quality of the beans that are important. If pre-ground coffee was inferior, then most companies would not sell it that way, right?
Same principles can apply to other items such as black pepper, or any number of spices that can be whole or ground. It just a matter of convenience. That all.
Pre-ground coffee are packaged all ready in grounds as opposed to whole beans. This is considered inferior to freshly ground coffee as a significant amount of time has gone by since the coffee was ground and brewing it.
Freshly ground coffee can mean either you grind the whole coffee beans right before you use it, or buy whole coffee beans at a store and have them grind it for you, although if you are not going to use it all immediately, any ground coffee left and stored will be in the same condition as pre-ground coffee.
