Is there any case where memoization approach requires more states than tabulation?

I have heard that tabulation and memoization only differs by some memory efficiency and time efficiency.

But now I am facing a problem where the tabulation solution only needs a state, "amount". I tried to implement it using memoization but there I must keep track of the "index", otherwise it gives wrong answer.

memoization solution (TLE) with 2D dp : https://cses.fi/paste/972af1e5f43728b8825fa2/

memoization solution for this problem with 1D dp seems like does no exist.
