Is it somewhat like the clou 2! (The Sting!)?

Headline says it all.

*edit*
Turns out the clou2! is named the sting in some regions

Memory of Clue 2 is a bit shady (have played the first part and "they stole a million" though) and I'd say it has similarities. Played the demo for a bit, so far it seems like there is less intricate planning involved and the variety and abilities of ppl you can hire for your team seems pretty limited as well.

I recommend playing the demo, I think it'll show if it's a game to your liking.

It is very similair and I really like Crookz, BUT Clou!2 is an unbeatable masterpiece.

Do you have the same in-between mission bits, where you can explore the city and find new contacts?
Do you have to sell the loot to someone or is it automatically sold?
Are there any other things to do besides missions, for example some hideout management?
Are there some free to choose missions between larger main missions?

There is no free-roam city to explore, new Characters will be unlocked during the story progression.
Loot will be sold automatically.
Unfortunatly there will be no hideout managment, its more about planning the actual heists.

There is some choice which mission you want to do next, but you have to do them anyway but with maybe better gear from the other heist. Also there will be the challenge mode where you can choose freely which one you want to do once you unlocked them by progessing through the story and you can replay any heist with the unlocked characters and gear :) to improve your score.

Every heist can be re/played with every character combination which will enrich the gameplay experience once you unlocked new skills and gear. :)
