Write them down in Cheatsheet and then refer to them anytime in a Widget or paste them anywhere with the Custom Keyboard.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: XGuardian at none against Cheatsheet's 9. XGuardian also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.4). Cheatsheet's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 34 months) and device support. On price there is nothing between them.
