The programmers want you to be a free beta tester if you wish. You want to be a free beta tester with design and bug fix input, or a paid beta tester with no design or bug fix input, or even best of both worlds, a paid beta tester with design and bug fix input. I think the only way that you are going to be satisfied with this is to write your own program. Expecting other people to credit you with finding holes in their program, or expecting them to fix holes that you have found in a timely manner, or expecting them to implement your design ideas is probably unrealistic.
