Animate or After Effects

Question

I am looking to create a simple dashbord with three numbers and percentages that are updated regulary. I would like the numbers to have a simple count up animation as they are updated and I am hoping that the graphic can be populated with content from a database so thatwhen the database is updated, the graphic udates automatically. This will be displayed on a web page.

Before I begin the process of building this, I am wondering if this would be a better project for Animate or After Effects. My guess is that Animate would suit it better since it is essentially a simple app.

If it's just a simple count up, it may be easier just to build a small HTML/CSS/Javascript application. If it's going to have a good bit of animation, Animate would be well-suited for the task. You can have the app pull in live values from the database (via javascript) and would not have to update it manually.
