The Shavian Keyboard for iOS. It features all 48 characters without needing to shift, in keeping with the idea that each character can be written with one stroke, we don't think it should take more than one key press. There is also an always on number row along the top which can be set to use Base 12 if you are so inclined.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ShavKey at Free against Labels Widget's $1.99. ShavKey also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 56%) and rating (4.6 vs 2.5). Labels Widget's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
