Hexgo
The Hexgo NinjaTrader package is the most complete of the index systems we have looked at: four contracts rather than one, position sizing fixed in advance at 1% with stops, and setup assistance included rather than sold as an add-on. Like every competitor's, the headline price is the software only — the breakdown below shows what it comes to once the platform is included.

The most hands-off product on this list: the vendor supplies not just the algorithm but the trading environments, and re-optimises them weekly, which genuinely removes the work most NinjaTrader systems leave with the buyer. Two things to weigh - $500/mo is the top of this list, and the co-located Chicago server it requires is leased separately and unpriced, so the figure you actually pay is higher than the one advertised.
