Flask and Rails have different focuses. I've used both and like them both quite a bit, but I've found there is often a clear winner depending on the task at hand.

Flask is a microframework that often fits within one file and is probably more comparable to Sinatra than Rails. I've only ever used it for setting up really small webservices and stubbing webservices. It could certainly scale up to larger apps, but it doesn't give you a lot of direction in how best to do so.

Rails is a full-stack framework. Out of the box it gives you everything from the view to the database and strong conventions for where to place classes as your app grows. In general, it's more often compared to Django.
