N9 night busorNational Express 032 coach to Southampton?
The short answer
These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The N9 night bus reaches Paddington, and the whole of Zone 1 beyond it; the National Express 032 coach to Southampton does not. This goes to Southampton, not London: it stops at the coach station in the city centre, about a mile from the nearest cruise terminals.
The N9 night bus is quicker: 1 h 22 against 1 h 40. The National Express 032 coach to Southampton varies between 85 and 120 minutes.
N9 night bus: 23:43–04:45. National Express 032 coach to Southampton: 09:00–00:20.

It only exists at night. Between 04:45 and 23:43 there is no N9, and this is the only option here that runs in the small hours at all.
It is slow: 82 minutes to Piccadilly Circus against the Express's 15 to Paddington. You are trading an hour for £24.25.
It runs every night of the week, unlike the Night Tube, which runs on Friday and Saturday nights only.
