We theoretically study analytic-phase synchronization in strongly-competing oscillator systems. Using the example of composite-cavity modes coupled via a class-B laser active medium, we discover that inherent chaotic phase synchronization can arise concurrently at two different chaotic attractors, leading to bistable phase-synchronized solutions. In our example, the underlying mechanism for bistability and inherent phase synchronization is population pulsation within the active medium.
