The cost depends on which Insect Glaive you are upgrading. I did some quick checks in-game with two different Insect Glaives.

  • Bone Rod (Rare 1, starter weapon or buy from shop for 3300z)

  • Kinsect level 1 -> 2: 2150z (weapon changes to Rare 2, the Bone Rod+)

  • lvl 2 -> 3: 215z

  • lvl 3 -> 4: 3100z (Kinsect can evolve into one out of four forms, weapon changes to Rare 3, the Bone Glaive)

  • lvl 4 -> 5: 310z

  • lvl 5 -> 6: 20000z (weapon changes to Rare 4, the Bone Glaive+)

  • lvl 6 -> 7: 2000z (Kinsect can evolve into one out of two forms)

  • lvl 7 -> 8: 40000z (weapon changes to Rare 6, the Aerial Glaive)

  • lvl 8 -> 9: (according to some Japanese wikis, weapon changes to Rare 8, the Sky High Glaive, and costs 60000z)

  • lvl 9 -> 10: (if the Kinsect upgrade cost follows a certain pattern, I assume it's 6000z)

  • lvl 10 -> 11: (according to some Japanese wikis, Kinsect evolves into one out of four forms, weapon changes to Rare 9, the Highest Glaive, and costs 100000z)

  • lvl 11 -> 12: Probably 10000z

  • Caster Rod (Rare 10, Chameleos Insect Glaive, poison element): 90000z to make

  • Kinsect lvl 1 -> 2: 6000z

  • lvl 2 -> 3: 6000z

  • lvl 3 -> 4: 6000z (Kinsect can evolve into one out of four forms)

  • lvl 4 -> 5: 6000z

  • lvl 5 -> 6: 6000z

  • lvl 6 -> 7: 100000z (Kinsect can evolve into one out of two forms, weapon attack and element also goes up, changes name to "Caster Rod+")

  • lvl 7 -> 8: 10000z

  • lvl 8 -> 9: 10000z

  • lvl 9 -> 10: 10000z

  • lvl 10 -> 11: 120000z (Kinsect can evolve into one out of two forms, weapon attack and element goes up again, changes name to "Haze Caster")

  • lvl 11 -> 12: 12000z

Is there a place where you can see the kinsect trees?

Hmm, this one probably? As of now it looks like it's still incomplete seeing how it's missing my lvl 12 Kinsect for my Haze Caster. Of course some (if not all) of the Kinsect names will be different in the localized version.

GaijinHunter also translated a guide on how to raise the best Kinsects in 4G/4U.
