Bus 612 to Kato PaphosorKapnos shuttle from Paphos to Nicosia?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The Bus 612 to Kato Paphos reaches Kato Paphos harbour and its medieval fort, with the old town of Ktima on the hill above; the Kapnos shuttle from Paphos to Nicosia does not. Goes to Nicosia, the capital, on the far side of the island — not to Paphos.

The Bus 612 to Kato Paphos is quicker: 24 min against 1 h 45.

Bus 612 to Kato Paphos: 07:30–01:00. Kapnos shuttle from Paphos to Nicosia: 01:30–23:30.
