I agree with Shailesh that if you get one deal done, it was worth it. Personally, I don't care if the lead goes to 5 other LOs or even if it gets into a rate game because that means I can just hang up on the client and move on. I know that sounds mean, but if someone gets into a rate pissing match, they aren't a client for my business model either, so it makes it easy for me to stop wasting their time and mine and find someone who truly wants my help. So, as with virtually everything else, time will tell, but I am not overly optimistic, but even if I wasted the $25, it was worth it.
