With GPS Averaging you can get precise GPS coordinates. From many measurements an average value is formed, which is much more accurate than a single snapshot. The current position is read out every second and a averaged value is calculated. Short jumps of the position can be automatically filtered out. It is also possible to record a plurality of time-offset measurement series to form one coordinate with a increased accuracy. The ideal tool for the exact determination of coordinates for activities like geocaching.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Coordinates at Free against GPS Averaging's $0.99. Coordinates also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 23 months). GPS Averaging's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
